KIWINANABERRY CREAM SMOOTHIE
I came up with this because I had a ton of kiwi that was going to go bad soon and I couldn't find any decent recipes for kiwi so I settled on making my own smoothie. Well, it turned out I wasn't settling because it turned out fantastic, and I normally don't care for smoothies much. I used a bunch of different fruit, but kiwi is the main fruit here and the smoothie has a nice slightly tart, tangy, and sweet taste. I use soy milk, but non-fat milk would taste the same. I also used tangelos because that's what I had, but oranges or tangerines would work just as well.

- Freeze the cranberries and kiwis beforehand: Freezing the fruits will help create a thicker, creamier smoothie.
- Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will help break down the frozen fruits and create a smooth, consistent smoothie.
- Add liquid gradually: Start with a small amount of liquid and add more as needed until you reach the desired consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking: Add honey, maple syrup, or another sweetener to taste, if desired.
- Serve immediately: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them immediately after blending.
