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

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.
