2A really deliciously different blend of flavors that are great any time, including the coldest night of the winter on which I first whipped this up. Although the name says lime, it's really the lime-less combo of lemon, orange, avocado, and
ginger which make you swear it's got lime in it.
For those who prefer sweet over spicy, just omit the pepper, and add more sweet. : )
Avocado may sound weird, but it gives the nice thick consistency of the key lime pie in smoothie form.
Enjoy!

juice of 2 oranges or tangerines, etc.
