Margarita Pie!

I have recently become quite addicted to Greek yogurt...so much so that I really don't care for regular yogurt anymore! Greek yogurt is thicker and tangier than regular and comes in many varieties. My favorite brand is Chobani, but I have fallen in LOVE with Dannon Oikos Key Lime Greek yogurt. My regular breakfast consists of a container of Greek yogurt and a serving of Cinnamon Life Cereal. The yogurt is packed with protein and keeps you feeling full longer!
(Yes, that's a spoon from Menchie's...I'm trying to save the planet here!)

A few years ago, I found the PERFECT recipe for summer get-togethers: its so easy to make and can be made days in advance. It's called Margarita pie and I got the recipe from a Stonyfield Farms yogurt lid. Here's the recipe:

1 graham cracker pie crust
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup Oikos Vanilla Greek Yogurt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup liquid margarita mix
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until soft and smooth. Add sugar, lime juice, and margarita mixer to cream cheese and mix until blended. Add yogurt to mixture and mix until just blended. Pour into pie crust and freeze overnight or until firm.

I tell you, this pie is TO DIE FOR! Every time I make it, someone wants the recipe. It's also really fun to dress the pie up with slices of fresh lime.
