Jump To Recipe

There is something irresistible about key lime pie. It’s tart, sweet, creamy and tastes of long hot summer days. All these essential flavors and textures are blended up in my plant based, gluten free, raw smoothie bowl that will leave you feeling refreshed and satisfied. This is a thick, pie-for-breakfast, eat with a spoon smoothie bowl that gets its vibrant green color from our good friend, spinach, and creamy texture from bananas and avocado. Top it with fresh pineapple and coconut flakes and you’ll have a feet in the sand, nutritious treat to start your day!

Ingredients

2 oz. (1/4 cup) of full fat coconut milk (the kind that comes in a can)

Zest and juice of 1 medium lime (organic if possible)

2 large ripe bananas

2 large medjool dates, pitted

1 large ripe avocado

2 cups of fresh spinach, packed

1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt

Pineapple chunks and coconut flakes for toppings

Makes 3 bowls

Method

1. First, add the liquids to the blender container: ¼ cup of full fat coconut milk and the zest & juice of 1 medium lime. You can easily zest and juice your own lime by zesting the lime first on a microplane and then cutting it in half and squeezing out all of the juice, fishing out any seeds. Follow this by adding the sweeteners: 2 large ripe bananas and 2 large pitted medjool dates.

2. Next add the base: 1 large ripe avocado and 2 packed cups of fresh spinach. Last, but not least, is 1/8 teaspoon of fine sea salt. Adding salt to your smoothie bowl will help marry all the lovely flavors together.

3. Secure the lid on the blender container and blend until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary or by using the tamper if you have a Vitamix. This may take up to a minute or more, depending on what type of blender you use.

4. Scoop the bright green, creamy mixture, which will be the consistency of loose pudding, into two or three bowls and top with pineapple chunks and coconut flakes. Enjoy as a delicious healthy breakfast or nutrient dense snack!
