If you are as tired of winter as I am then you are going to love this Lime Cream Pie Smoothie. It is a refreshing, summer inspired smoothie with the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The minute you taste it you will be reminded of long summer days and a walk on the beach. I know that sounds a bit cheesy but for me every time I taste lime I think of sunshine, the beach and vacation. Who doesn’t need that during the winter? Especially if you live in a northern state. The best part about this smoothie is it only takes a few minutes to whip up and it’s filled with a good dose of healthy fats and nutrients. Enjoy!
