📖 Instructions

1. Gather your ingredients! Make sure your ingredients are at the right temperature, especially the lime juice and milk, and everything is within easy reach. Trust me; it will save you a lot of hassle.
2. Start by juicing your limes. I usually use about 2-3 Key limes depending on their size and how tart I like my smoothie, but feel free to adjust to your liking. If you don't have a juicer, you can manually juice them with a fork or something similar, but a juicer makes the process so much easier. If your hands are a bit sensitive, wear some gloves! You don't want to deal with a key lime's sour reaction with your skin.
3. In your blender, combine the lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, and ice. It's important to get the proportions right for that perfect key lime pie flavor. Add the ice last to prevent it from getting stuck at the bottom of the blender.
4. Next add your graham cracker crumbs. They give it that amazing key lime pie crust vibe. Don't worry too much about measuring exactly as it is totally up to your taste preferences. Add slowly and observe.
5. Time to blend! Blend everything on high speed until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of your blender if needed to make sure everything is incorporated evenly. Trust me, nothing is worse than a chunky key lime pie smoothie!
6. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, add a little more milk or water a bit at a time. If you need to make some adjustments, remember to do it gradually and taste test as you go! There is nothing more frustrating than wasting a batch of a delicious recipe.
7. Once you've achieved that perfect texture, it’s time for the taste test. Pour the smoothie into a tall glass. If it needs a little somethin' somethin', adjust it accordingly. Taste, taste again, make sure everything is perfect.
8. Garnish and serve! You can garnish your key lime pie smoothie with a lime wedge, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, or even a few fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance. And remember, the presentation matters.
9. There you have it! Enjoy your amazing key lime pie smoothie! Let me know how it turned out in the comments below. I love seeing your creations!
