Key Lime Pie Smoothie

If you love Key Lime Pie, then you’re going to LOVE our Key Lime Pie Smoothie. Has all the flavor, but none of the dairy or sugar calories.

Traditional Pie vs Key Lime Pie Smoothie

The standard key lime pie typically contains a graham cracker crumb crust with lots of butter and sugar. Plus, sweetened condensed milk, eggs and real Key Lime Juice.  Yes, we know – it tastes delicious and believe it or not, that’s really just about all there is to it. The real Key Lime Pie recipe is actually a very simplistic one. It’s just not the least bit “clean”!

Making the Perfect Key Lime Pie Smoothie

For any fellow diehard Key Lime pie lovers it might be inconceivable that we can make a healthy smoothie taste like the real thing.

So, you’re just going to have to trust us on this way. Our delicious key lime pie smoothie is made with a frozen banana, coconut milk cream and dates. So many people have stopped by to say that they didn’t think this combination could take like an authentic pie.

Then, they are wildly surprised when they try it.

Even without refined sugar or dairy, the key lime pie smoothie recipe below still hits the spot if you are craving the tart and tangy real deal. The only thing missing is the graham cracker crust.

Naturally Sweetened by Dates

This delicious smoothie recipe is naturally sweetened using dates in place of the typical refined sugar. If you’re new to swapping out refined sugar — then, this is a great place to start. Depending on the recipe, we’ll use coconut sugar, dates, date sugar, date syrup, maple syrup and honey. These naturally sweeteners have other nutrients and are much easier to digest. In addition, natural sugars do not cause an inflammatory reaction.

What is Coconut Cream?

Coconut “Cream” is the thick white substance at the top of canned coconut milk. To get the “cream” part, you first need to refrigerate your coconut milk for 5 or 6 hours or pop it in the freezer for at least an hour.

Once the coconut milk is cold, carefully remove the top with a can opener. Then, you can spoon out the hardened coconut “cream” off the top. The “cream” is what you will be using for the Key Lime Pie Smoothie Recipe. You can reserve the liquid water for other smoothies.

Be Sure to use Real Key Limes

Whether you’re making a smoothie, pie, cheesecake or any recipe that has “key lime” in the name – be sure you choose real key lime juice.

If you can’t get fresh key limes, the next best thing is Nellie & Joe’s Famous Key Lime Juice.  Born in Key West, Florida, a bottle of Nellie & Joe’s is pretty much a staple ingredient in any real Floridian’s fridge as it can be used for so many different recipes.
