🍓 Ingredients For Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie

  • 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries

  • 1 banana (for creaminess)

  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt)

  • ½ cup orange juice (or coconut water)

  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

  • Ice cubes (optional, for a chilled texture)

🌀 Instructions

  1. Prepare fruits: Peel and chop kiwis and slice strawberries.

  2. Blend: Add kiwi, strawberries, banana, yogurt, and orange juice into a blender.

  3. Sweeten: Add honey or maple syrup if desired.

  4. Add ice: Toss in a few ice cubes for a cool, frothy texture.

  5. Blend until smooth: About 30–40 seconds until creamy.

  6. Serve immediately: Pour into a glass and garnish with a slice of kiwi or strawberry.

🍯 Notes

  • Use frozen strawberries if you prefer a thicker smoothie.

  • Substitute banana with avocado or mango for variety.

  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free yogurt (like coconut or almond).

  • Add chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber and omega-3s.

💡 Tips

  • Blend in layers if you want a pretty two-tone effect — strawberry base first, then kiwi on top.

  • Chill all ingredients beforehand for an extra-refreshing flavor.

  • Add a handful of spinach to turn it into a green power smoothie (you won’t taste the greens!).
