Know what you call a key lime pie popsicle when kids are feeling impatient? A smoothie.
Specifically, this smoothie. It’s refreshingly cool and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness and tang. Rich in healthy fats and naturally sweetened, it makes a great afternoon snack on warm days, and it’s super easy to make.

The instructions say to add the coconut oil/butter in a slow stream, but they are not listed in the ingredients list. How much do you add?
Thanks!
Oops! I got the last section of the recipe mixed up with the instructions for a different smoothie. There is no coconut oil or butter in this version – I’ll correct the post now. Thanks for your question, Lori! 🙂
