When it comes to Indian style cooking, no dish can be complete without that acidic lime taste. But whoever heard of a lime smoothie? Actually it tastes pretty good and you’ll certainly score points for creating something unusual. In addition, this makes for a very healthy drink as it is low in fat and carbohydrates as well as being a rich source of Vitamin C. So this refreshing drink is best medicine for people who suffer from various heart ailments.
Another variation of this drink can be created by using key lime yoghurt instead. Of course, you’ll get a tart and bitter flavor in place, so make note to add some great sweeteners to the concoction.
