Recipe: Key Lime Pie Shake

by JJ Virgin on May 5, 2018

Things I love about traditional Key Lime Pie:

  1. Tart lime flavor.
  2. Sweet vanilla accents.
  3. The appetite-suppressing power of citrus.

Things I definitely don’t love about Key Lime Pie:

  1. Inflammatory dairy.
  2. Gut-harming gluten.
  3. High sugar impact.

This smoothie is the answer!

Get your pie fix without harming your health with this easy shake. (No baking skills required!) It’s got the sweet-tart flavor everyone loves about Key Lime Pie, but with the added benefits of fantastic nutrition and low sugar impact.

There’s plenty of fresh lime, including both the zest and juice of the fruit. Just remember to buy organic so the zest doesn’t come covered in dangerous pesticides. Like lemons, limes contain compounds that can naturally suppress your appetite, so it’s a great addition to a filling breakfast!

Toasty ground flaxseed stands in for the graham cracker crust, while coconut milk and Vanilla All-In-One Protein Shake give it a sweet, creamy finish. And yes, I snuck in a handful of baby kale – think of it as all-natural food coloring!

Altogether, it’s a perfectly crave-able combination that does great things for your body and weight loss goals…
