With summer right around the corner, what better sweet and tangy dessert is there to savor, than a totally delicious, refreshing slice of key lime pie?! But, you don’t need a fork for this shake recipe that brings all the goodness of creamy vanilla and tart lime to your glass instead of a plate!
This Creamy Key Lime Smoothie tastes as good as the real thing to satisfy your sweet tooth and keep you cool in the hot summer weather – while helping you stay perfectly aligned with your health and wellness goals. It’s one of my favorites to enjoy while relaxing by the pool or reading in the backyard, and I have a hunch it will be one of your summertime go-to’s as well!
To make this exciting shake, you only need 310 Vanilla, banana, Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and unsweetened almond milk. But don’t let the simplicity of the ingredients fool you, as this shake is packed with flavor, while being sweetened naturally with banana and plant-based Stevia (from 310 Vanilla). So, there’s no added sugar or artificial sweeteners in this shake!
This smoothie will surely brighten your day while fueling your body – with 22g of plant-based protein and 11g of healthy fats!
Before giving you the full recipe, let’s look at a few of the impressive potential health benefits of the ingredients, below…
Rich, Dessert Taste: 310 Vanilla
While traditional key lime pie typically includes condensed milk for the filling, I’m using a scoop of 310 Vanilla to recreate the creamy, rich flavor, and mimic the yummy graham cracker crust. As mentioned previously, this satisfying meal replacement powder is sweetened with Stevia, which helps this shake taste delicious and sweet, while staying sugar free!

A Nutritious Pie Filling: Greek Yogurt
To achieve a smooth and velvety texture, I'm using plain Greek yogurt! Some key lime pie recipes actually use sour cream in the filling, so plain Greek yogurt is one of the best healthier alternatives to use in this shake for a slight tangy taste.
Not only does the addition of Greek yogurt add immense silkiness to this smoothie, but it also brings incredible health benefits with it to help fuel your body and your day! Greek yogurt is a source of protein, and paired with 310 Vanilla Shake, can help satisfy and keep you full for hours. Not to mention, Greek yogurt is also packed with a variety of nutrients including vitamins A and B12, calcium, potassium, and more.
Bold, Zesty Flavor: Fresh Lime
You can't make key lime pie without... lime!
I highly recommend using a fresh lime for this recipe, as it really makes a difference for memorable flavor in every sip compared to bottled lime juice or some type of lime syrup. Not to mention, we’re going to be using some lime zest as well for even more bold taste!
Little but mighty, limes are actually packed with vitamin C, which can help to support immunity and possibly even a healthy complexion. – so you can have glowing, radiant skin from the inside out! In fact, one lime offers about 19mg of vitamin C to help you both look and feel your best.
