Description
This bright and creamy lime smoothie delivers all the tangy sweetness of classic key lime pie in a lighter, protein-packed drink that works perfectly for breakfast or a refreshing snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop vanilla-flavored protein powder
- ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk (plain or vanilla both work well)
- ¾ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- Finely grated zest from 1 lime (about 2 teaspoons)
- Small pinch of salt
- 1–2 cups ice, depending on desired thickness
Optional Topping
- Crushed whole-grain graham cracker (about half a sheet)
Instructions
Place the protein powder, almond milk, fresh lime juice, lime zest, salt, and ice into a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Pour into a glass, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs, and enjoy right away for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
For a cleaner, from-scratch option, try making homemade whole wheat graham crackers. They come together quickly in one bowl using simple pantry ingredients and make a great topping—or snack on their own.
