Key Lime Cheesecake Protein Smoothie

September 10, 2014 by Julie 32 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

As someone who lived in Florida for more than 11 years, I’ve had the pleasure of trying my fair share of phenomenal key lime pies. Tangy and sweet, key lime pie is a family favorite in our house. And for days when were feeling particularly indulgent, key lime pie cheesecake is a special treat! But what about day-to-day life when a key lime pie craving hits in the morning (please tell me I’m not the only one who craves dessert for breakfast sometimes!) or in the mid-afternoon when you’re dying for a sweet pick-me-up but don’t want to dig into something quite so rich and indulgent? That’s when this key lime cheesecake protein smoothie comes in.

Key Lime Pie Cheesecake Protein Smoothie

How about a key lime pie cheesecake protein smoothie!?

Key Lime Pie Protein Smoothie

This smoothie tastes like dessert but incorporates fruit, protein-packed Greek yogurt and fresh lime juice. The sneaky spoonfuls of cream cheese give it the dessert-like flavor.

    As a Florida girl at heart, I love some key lime. I’ve never actually used flavored Greek yogurt in a smoothie, but I totally should. Thanks for sharing!

    I’ve never tried a key lime dessert of any kind, but really must do so. I love the colouring and I love the sound of it.

    Mmm… I may give this a try as an end-of-the-summer smoothie. Key lime anything always make me think of summery, sunny Florida vacations. I’m actually looking forward to fall in NYC and can’t wait to get back to pumpkin-ish smoothies! Hooray for fall!

    I am not a fan of keylime pie … but I almost always have dessert in the morning. I have tea everyday with either cookies, or a piece of cake, or like today, a cinnabon 🙂
