Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 banana, sliced and frozen
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (130 g, or dairy-free alternative)
  • ¼ cup key or regular lime juice (60 mL)
  • 1 Tbsp honey (15 mL, or sweetener of choice)
  • ½ tsp finely grated lime zest
  • ¼ tsp vanilla flavoring (1.2 mL)

Optional Ingredients

  • Ice, as needed for desired consistency
  • Fresh spinach leaves, a few for color and texture
  • Graham cracker crumbs, for garnish
  • Lime wedge, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Blend: Combine the frozen banana slices, Greek yogurt, lime juice, honey, lime zest, and vanilla flavoring in a blender. Add ice as necessary to achieve your preferred consistency. For a slightly green color and extra nutrients, incorporate a few fresh spinach leaves. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Serve: If desired, prepare the glass by rubbing lime juice around its rim and rolling it in crushed graham cracker crumbs to create a flavorful border. Pour the smoothie into the glass and garnish with a lime wedge. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Use frozen banana slices to ensure a creamy and cold smoothie texture.
  • Substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative like coconut or almond yogurt for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey or your preferred sweetener.
  • Adding spinach is optional but provides extra vitamins without overpowering the lime flavor.
  • Graham cracker crumbs enhance the dessert-like experience but can be omitted for a lower-calorie version.
