An easy paleo key lime pie smoothie recipe with avocado and coconut milk.
I've been on a smoothie kick lately. There's something about a rich, creamy, frozen coconut drink that is so indulgent. This paleo key lime pie smoothie is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and sweetened with just a touch of honey.
It is satisfying for breakfast or a snack. It's decadent enough for a dessert. And it's a lot faster than baking a pie.
Key lime smoothie with avocado
The secret ingredient to this smoothie is avocado. It makes it thick, creamy and decadent and adds a hint of green color. If you haven't tried avocado in your smoothies you are missing out! The extra creaminess and nutrition of the avocado takes this smoothie over the top.
The ingredients are simple — just coconut milk, lime, avocado, and honey. I used regular limes for this smoothie because I couldn't find key limes. If you are lucky enough to have key limes, you'll need to juice a couple more of them because they're so small. Either way, this key lime pie smoothie is like dessert in a glass.

Looks delicious!! I love the combo of lemon/lime with coconut milk!
Use limes not lemons, thought I could substitute them but not the same
I am kinda thinking maybe frozen banana instead of ice. What do you think?

This looks yummy!!! Thanks for sharing at the Monday Funday Party – Emily
We just made these and they are fantastic! Very creamy and refreshing. We did leave out the lime zest and they were still plenty lime-y, will try adding some next time.
This looks delicious. I’m always curious in these recipes if people are using plain coconut milk, or sweetened vanilla coconut milk. Which do you suggest?
Hi Michelle, I use plain, unsweetened coconut milk. Look for one with no gums or additives like the one linked in the recipe.
