The Smoothie:
This delicious smoothie is made with ‘muddled’ blueberries, frozen bananas, rich creamy kefir, and topped with beautiful, tangy finger lime pearls. I know, you’re thinking ‘what the heck are finger limes?’ That is exactly what I thought. No worries, I am going to give you the scoop…
Let Me Introduce You to The Finger Lime!
Finger limes are small oblong limes that are filled with little pearls of citrus deliciousness! Aren’t they interesting, not to mention beautiful? You can buy finger limes whole or just buy the pearls! And if you are wondering what else you can do with these lovely little limes and pearls, click for more recipes! (like tacos, popsicles and more!)
Smooth, Creamy and Loaded with Belly Pleasing Probiotics:
This smoothie is a bonanza of goodness! Let’s discuss: Kefir is full of belly pleasing probiotics, blueberries are antioxidant and fiber rich, and the finger limes provide much needed vitamin C. So much goodness in one smoothie!

The Recipe:Â Banana~Blueberry Kefir Smoothie
Tips and what you will need: You will need  A good blender, I love my Blendtec! You may use fresh or frozen bananas, frozen make the smoothie colder and creamier.
A beautiful, nourishing smoothie made with finger limes!
- 1/2 pint 6 oz. blueberries
- 1 quart kefir drinkable yogurt
- 4 bananas I like mine frozen so the smoothie is colder
- 1/4 cup honey
- 6 teaspoon Citriburst pearls or 6 finger limes
-
Muddle blueberries. (Muddle means smash, you can use a fork or potato masher)
-
Separate evenly into 4 tall glasses (about 1/3 cup per glass)
-
In a blender combine kefir, bananas, and honey. Whirl until smooth.
-
Stir in Citriburst pearls.
-
Pour mixture over muddled blueberries.
-
Enjoy!

I can’t wait to try this. I have the blueberries…just need to find the kefir.
That should be easy enough! Good Luck!
I’d love to win so I can try out new fruit-based recipes to fit my new vegan lifestyle!
Good luck Kayley!
I have never met a lime I didn’t like. Definitely would love to try a finger lime … I am drooling just typing this.
We love trying new smoothies. They are the perfect summer breakfast and my little guy loves picking the fruit. We’ll have to try this!
Good luck!
I love how cute the finger limes look on the glass!
Good luck!
I’d love to win; I adore avocados and pretty much any kind of citrus!
Good luck!
This would be so nice to win. I’m loving the recipe. I’ve been tempted to try kefir. This would be a fun way to do that. Actually this gift box has several new to me things I’d love to try!
Good luck!
Huge Kefir fan!! I have yet to try finger limes, they look cool!
They are cool! Those little pearls are so tasty!
This smoothie is beautiful!!! I absolutely LOVE finger limes! They always sell out so fast when my local natural foods co-op gets them. So fun!
I’m so looking forward to trying these limes! As a central coast native, I know you can’t go wrong with Shanley products. I’m extremely happy that they are introducing finger limes to our area.
Hope you entered and if you did, good luck!
What a delicious creamy looking smoothie! I love the addition of finger limes, I need to find some of these!
They are fun aren’t they!
I’ve never even heard of finger limes before. Now I’m intrigued… 🙂
They are really fun! If you win you can experiment with them!
Have I been living under a rock, I have never heard or seen finger limes it’s even embarrassing saying that. I’m not a fan of kefir because of the taste but I think the honey masks it and I would stand it. Thank you.
I had never heard of them either!
Yum! This looks so good. A great breakfast after my workout and on the go!
Gorgeous smoothie, I love the flavors and use of kefir!
I haven’t made a smoothie in ages but I do love them. Need to try this recipe soon!
We taste tested kefir last week and decided we wanted to incorporate it into our diet. Perfect that I saw this recipe! I’d need to figure out where to get finger limes where I am though 🙂
If you don’t win the box, you could always squeeze some lime into the smoothie:)
What a gorgeous combo of flavours!
I was just saying the other day I want to get a blender so I can make smoothies especially with the summer being so hot this year. This looks delicious and I learned about two new food items I’d never heard about kefir and finger limes! 🙂
I love it when people learn something new. Thanks for the comment!
Whaaat finger limes!? That’s a new thing to me! This giveaway is really fun – hope I win! 😉
I love kefir and probiotics too, yay! Thanks.
Goos luck!
Kefir is my favorite probiotic to drink. I love the finger limes! Never seen them before 🙂 Great recipe!
I know! Finger limes are new to me too!
Holy Molly I’ve never heard or seen Finger Limes! How adorable are they! I really really want to try them out, and I just entered the giveaway – for the limes AND the incredible avocado socks!

Whaaaat!!!!? A finger lime?! My mind is blown. Do they taste just like limes? Thanks for the education!
They tastes like limes but unlike regular limes they are filled with little pearls…like caviar! But citrus caviar so to speak!
