A key lime smoothie is a perfect variation on a classic dessert that's great not only as a dessert, but for breakfast, too. This wikiHow will discuss how you can make a key lime pie smoothie.
Ingredients
Serves 1
- 1 6 ounces (0.17 kg) container key lime-flavored Greek yogurt
- 1 banana, frozen
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 fl oz orange juice
- Ice (as desired)
Serves 3
- 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk
- 1/2 avocado
- Zest and juice from 2 limes
- Honey or other sweetener of your choosing (to taste)
- Ice (as desired)
Steps
Method 1
Method 1 of 2:
Basic Key Lime Pie Smoothie
-
Take the frozen banana out of the freezer and cut it into chunks. Set this aside for now.
- You could also cut the banana into chunks before freezing it if you'd like.
-
Decide how much ice you’ll want to add into your smoothie. Since your banana is frozen, you may not want to add too much ice to your smoothie (the ice gives it a very watery taste). Add just enough to help cool the smoothie down, though, which is wonderful if you're drinking it on a hot day.
- You can also not add any ice at all if you'd like; simply consider how watery and cool you'd like your smoothie to taste, and figure out accordingly whether or not you would like to add any.

Pour the desired amount of ice into a cup if you've decided to add any. Once again, set this aside for now. -
Measure out 2 fluid ounces of orange juice in a measuring cup. Set the measuring cup aside once it is filled.
-
Get out the rest of your ingredients. Once you’ve gotten them out, add everything, including the banana, ice (if you've decided to add some) and orange juice into your blender.
-
Blend all of the ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
-
Pour the smoothie into a serving glass. Serve and enjoy!Advertisement
Method 2
Method 2 of 2:
Dairy-Free Key Lime Pie Smoothie with Avocado
-
Measure 1 cup of coconut milk using a measuring cup. Set this aside once you're finished.
-
Zest and juice 2 limes. Once you're finished, set these aside for now as well.
- It's best to zest into a bowl so that you don't inadvertently lose any of it before you're ready to add it into your smoothie.
-
Figure out how much ice you would like to add into your smoothie. This is completely up to you. Ice can make a smoothie taste watery, though it can also cool it down. Whatever the amount of ice is that you decide to add (if any at all), put it into a cup and set it aside for now.
-
Add your ingredients into the blender. This includes the coconut milk, the zest and juice from 2 limes, ice (if you've decided to add any), and honey (or other sweetener of your choice).
-
Blend all of the ingredients together. Once you've added everything into the blender, blend everything together until the mixture is smooth.
- Make sure that the blender lid is on securely to prevent the smoothie mixture from inadvertently spilling out of the blender, which would likely result in a mess.
-
Pour the smoothie into serving glasses. Serve and enjoy!Advertisement
