We can’t just give you a plain Jane smoothie in this day and age. It has to wow your taste buds! This key lime pie smoothie, which is 100% raw vegan, is incredible indulgent, but you can enjoy it without worrying about sugar intake. Unlike the classic pie, this smoothie is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and only sweetened with a little maple syrup. You can, however, adjust the sweetness level to your desired taste.
The secret ingredient in this smoothie is, believe it or not, the avocado. It creates a luxuriously thick texture that makes this smoothie seem more like a milkshake. Just make sure that the avocado is not firm and underripe, or too mushy and overripe. You want the avocado to be just right, just like the porridge was for Goldilocks. An under or overripe avocado can dramatically change the flavor profile of this smoothie. It won’t taste like key lime pie, we can tell you that!
Although this key lime pie smoothie is sweetened with grade A maple syrup, you can use a different natural sweetener if you like. Raw agave nectar or alcohol-free stevia drops can be great options to sweeten your smoothie, especially if you are trying to remain keto.
