Here is a loaded keto smoothie bursting with lime flavor and loaded with good-for-you ingredients! This is a low carb smoothie that will leave you satisfied for hours!
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.

Paleo Key Lime Pie Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk I used Trader Joe's Coconut Milk, unsweetened. You can add some of my favorite canned milk variety for extra healthy fats too!
- 1/4 cup macadamia nuts OR raw cashews (more carbs), soaked if you do not have a high power blender to pulverize
- 4 tablespoons lime juice
- 1/2 medium avocado
- 2 handfuls spinach or any greens. I also sometimes add a handful of raw cauliflower. Can't taste it, promise!!
- 1 tablespoon erythritol or any favorite low carb sweetener to taste, or honey, or a banana (last 2 NOT keto)
- 2 tablespoons coconut butter I use my homemade,
- 2 tablespoons collagen this is the brand I use, use tessa10 for 10% any order
- Splash vanilla extract optional
- Zest of one lime
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a blender and whir until smooth and creamy.
Nutrition
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!
This smoothie turned out so creamy and smooth! Very yummy!

Just yum. That’s all. YUM!
This smoothie looks wonderful 😀 Glad your son loves smoothies, you’re right about them being a great way to get more nutrients into the diet.
Made this yesterday absolutely delicious and filling I used maple syrup instead and shredded coconut n coconut oil instead too I was rushing so just used.juices without zest and came out great, key lime pie has always been one of my favorite desserts and this tastes just like it but healthier…THANKS )
You’re very welcome Raven!
Hi Tessa, I just tried this smoothie with the hubby. We loved it. I know we’ll be making it as part of our regular line up of breakfast smoothies.
I am a smoothie lover and have never seen one quite like this! It looks great.
Oh my……now this I will be making! Sounds absolutely delightful!
This looks wonderful, Tessa! Such a pretty green. Love your photos too!
Hugs,

What a gorgeous color! I’ve never tried lime in a smoothie, but what a delicious way to wake up the tastebuds! Putting lime on the shopping list. I think I have everything else. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for sharing this recipe at Raw Foods Thursdays!
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!
Sure Jayna, use another fruit of your choice for sweetening…like mango or kiwi or just leave it,out and add more sweetener to taste!
Ps Jayna, I am here to help in anyway, please ask away! Good for you for taking your health into your own hands, the food you put into your body can be a very powerful tool and transform the way you feel!
I’ve shared this on my Facebook page 🙂 What a wonderful smoothie – delicious, yet full of really wholesome ingredients. Thank you for sharing it with the Hearth and Soul hop.
DELISH! I use young Thailand coconut water instead of milk and kale for the greens. Love it!
Great Dodi! I love using fresh coconut meat in smoothies when I get my hands on on some…thanks for your feedback! Coconut water is another great idea!
This looks great. Came here from Wildcrafting Wed.
Tessa, this smoothie looks awesome! Love the photos! 🙂

Shirley

I may have to link to this, and alter it a bit, but it sounds like it would make a fantastic Ketogenic smooothie for my son, and a super yummy fast lunch for me too!! thanks, for the great idea!!!

My word, that looks good enough to be dessert Tessa. I wouldn’t need to much convincing to have that any time of the day. Gorgeous. I’m going to have to try this.
It IS almost a dessert for me France!
Looks & sounds really good!
Mmmmmm!
I think, I would use almonds because I like them better than cashews but this does sound delicious with either nut.
Love this recipe, Tessa! You know I’m a sucker for anything tart.
I can’t wait to make this! I have loved every singe recipe of yours that I’ve tried and I’m sure this one will be wonderful too!
