Calories 316cal
Ingredients
- 1 large frozen ripe banana, sliced
- Zest from 1 small lime or key lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime or key lime juice
- ½ cup vanilla or coconut greek yogurt (use coconut based yogurt to keep it dairy free!)*
- ½ cup light coconut milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach**
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey to sweeten if necessary
- For serving:
- Extra lime wedge, for rimming glass
- Graham Cracker Crumbs
- Whipped cream
- Shredded Toasted Coconut
Instructions
- Start by prepping your glass: Add crushed graham crackers to a small plate. Use a lime wedge to wet the rim of the glass, then dip the rim of the glass in the graham cracker crumbs, rolling from side to side until well coated.
- Add all ingredients to a high powered blender: frozen banana, lime zest, lime juice, vanilla yogurt, milk, spinach and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, adding more milk to thin, if necessary. Taste and add sweetener if you feel it needs it, but personally I find that if you use vanilla yogurt then it’s sweet enough! Pour into the prepared glass, top with whipped cream and a little shredded toasted coconut on top! Serves 1. Feel free to double the recipe to serve 2.
Notes
*siggi’s makes an amazing key lime yogurt; it’s hard to find but would be so fabulous in this smoothie. Otherwise vanilla or coconut flavored yogurts are great.
To keep this smoothie vegan/dairy free: use a coconut based yogurt or a vanilla dairy free yogurt of choice.
**Feel free to add up to 2 cups of spinach, I just used it mostly for color in this smoothie.
If you’d like a boost of protein, feel free to add a scoop of vanilla protein powder. It will also increase the flavor of the smoothie.
