Tips:

  • Prep your kiwis properly: Before using, peel the kiwis and cut them into small pieces. This will help them blend more easily and evenly.
  • Use a variety of fruits and vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just kiwis! Add other fruits and vegetables like bananas, strawberries, spinach, or kale to your smoothies for a boost of flavor and nutrients.
  • Add healthy fats and protein: To make your smoothie more filling and satisfying, add healthy fats like avocado or nut butter, and protein sources like Greek yogurt or chia seeds.
  • Adjust the sweetness to your liking: If you find your smoothie too tart, add a natural sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar. You can also adjust the sweetness by using sweeter fruits like bananas or mangoes.
