Key Lime Pie Smoothie
I have been enjoying a lot of limes lately. Just been craving the flavor for some reason. Especially key lime pie. So I made some Key Lime Pie Bites, and those were wonderful, but I wanted to bring that flavor to my smoothie as well! Smoothies are actually a treat for me when I have time to make them on the weekends for an after workout snack, and I like them to taste like delicious dessert, so key lime pie fit!
Aside from the typical smoothie ingredients I use like bananas and protein powder, I actually used something interesting to make this smoothie green and give it more heft without adding more bananas...zucchini! You could not even taste it in there! I am all for adding veggies to anything possible. I added plenty of lime because I like my key lime pie tart. This was delicious! Drinkable key lime pie. I had some finger limes, and I had fun garnishing the top with those. They are like little fruity lime caviar! If you are a fan of key lime pie, you should definitely put this smoothie on your list to try!
