Equipment

- ½ cup canned coconut milk light or full fat

- 1 scoop (25 grams) vanilla protein powder or Greek yogurt
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lime or key lime juice
- ½ Tablespoon lime or key lime zest

- Splash of vanilla optional
- Optional toppings: coconut whip, crushed graham crackers toasted coconut, lime slices
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.

Notes
- Fresh avocado: If you’re using fresh avocado instead of frozen, you may want to add a few ice cubes to help chill and thicken the smoothie.
- No protein powder? You can swap the protein powder with a scoop of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese if you're not vegan, or use a spoonful of almond butter to keep it plant-based.
- Extra tang: Want it even more tart? Add an extra squeeze of lime juice or a bit more zest to amp up the citrus punch.
- Storage tip: Store any leftovers in a sealed glass jar in the fridge and enjoy within 24 hours. Be sure to fill the jar to the top to reduce air and prevent oxidation.
