TASTY
This smoothie is great! You can even use the light or custard style key lime pie flavor as well.

Very tasty!
What a wonderful way to begin the day. This has more tang than other smoothies I have had. I loved the lime and orange combination. I did add a few frozen banana chunks which makes the texture creamy and is a good way to use extra bananas.
