I’ve never tried a key lime dessert of any kind, but really must do so. I love the colouring and I love the sound of it.

Mmm… I may give this a try as an end-of-the-summer smoothie. Key lime anything always make me think of summery, sunny Florida vacations. I’m actually looking forward to fall in NYC and can’t wait to get back to pumpkin-ish smoothies! Hooray for fall!
