When we do smoothies in this house, they are almost always full-meal deals. 

With my oober picky son…smoothies provide a valuable way to get some much needed variety into his diet. 

This keto lime smoothie is meant to be a full meal!!

However, it is easy for smoothies to be loaded with sugars if all you use is fruits.

So I loaded THIS low carb lime smoothie with healthy fats, nutrients, and protein…this key lime pie smoothie should stick with you for hours without spiking your blood sugars to crazy levels!

I simply adore citrus…and this time of year there are some beautiful citrus fruits to be had.  As a result, I have been making loads of citrus smoothies this winter! 

This one is creamy and dreamy….always a good combo in my book!

Nutritious additions for this keto smoothie:

A smoothie becomes healthy when you minimize the glycemic load, and balance it all out with healthy fats along with a serving of protein.  Here are some of the things I use to really up the ante:

  • I use my own homemade coconut butter in this recipe, however it can also be purchased at well-stocked grocery stores and online.  It adds healthy fats!
  • Avocado is a great source of fiber and healthy fats, and lends a creamy texture to smoothies.
  • Collagen is a great source of tasteless protein.  Add it in wherever you can…it’s great for joints, hair, nails, and gut health!  My favorite brand is Perfect Supplements.  My readers get an additional 10% off any order with code tessa10.

This Paleo key lime pie smoothie is sure to be a hit, try it today!

  1. Am I reading right that this is net 16 carbs per serving? I am new to keto but understand my goal is 20 or less a day, certainly less than 30. How is this ketogenic at 10g of sugar?

    • There are all sorts of keto variations out there, these are keto friendly ingredients (cashews being the least), macadamia nuts have much less carbs (take away 5 carbs per serving). There are natural sugars in avocado, lime and coconut. So this would be a lazy keto smoothie!

  14. Hi, I am trying to change my way of eating due to health problems and your recipes sound great! Several people in my family don’t like bananas. Can it be left out or something else used in it’s place? Anxious to try this in my Vitamix!
