For the Smoothie
  • 1 large frozen ripe banana, sliced For creamy texture.
  • 1 small lime or key lime zest Adds tangy flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime or key lime juice Adjust to taste.
  • 1/2 cup vanilla or coconut Greek yogurt For creaminess.
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk Adjust for desired consistency.
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach Optional for added nutrition.
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
  • 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup or honey Optional for sweetness.
For Serving
  • Extra lime wedge For rimming the glass.
  • Graham cracker crumbs For crust.
  • Whipped cream For topping.
  • Shredded toasted coconut For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by wetting the rim of your glass with a lime wedge, then gently dip it into the crushed graham crackers to create a sandy crust.
Blending
  1. In a blender, combine the frozen banana, lime zest, lime juice, yogurt, coconut milk, spinach, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, adding more coconut milk if needed.
Sweetening
  1. Taste the mixture and sweeten with maple syrup or honey if desired, then blend again.
Serving
  1. Pour the smoothie into your prepared glass, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with shredded toasted coconut.

Notes

For a richer coconut flavor, opt for full-fat coconut milk. You can adjust the tartness with more lime juice or zest. For variations, consider adding chia seeds or berries.
