Years ago, we held a Fast & Fresh Recipe contest that drew in quite a few smoothie recipes. We have many of them listed in a round-up, but I realized the other day that they were hard to find. So I’m adding a few that we have photos for to our recipe section. And since we’re heading into the peak of key lime season, I thought I would start by featuring this healthy dairy-free Key Lime Pie Shake.
This plant-based Key Lime Pie Shake was submitted by Mandy Aureli. It’s creamy, nutritious, and a great option for people who want to incorporate more healthy fats into their dairy-free diet.
