Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
Dairy/Dairy-Free
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
Liquids
- 1/2 cup orange juice (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
Sweeteners (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Additional
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Peel and chop the kiwis into manageable pieces. If you’re using fresh strawberries, make sure to remove the stems and cut them in half to help the blender process them smoothly.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the chopped kiwi, strawberries, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into your blender. Blend the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and creamy without any fruit chunks.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the texture of your smoothie. If it’s thicker than you prefer, gradually add more orange juice or almond milk and blend again until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Add Ice (Optional): For a cooler and thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and pulse until the ice is crushed and the drink is frosty.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately to enjoy its fresh flavor and creamy texture at its best.
Notes
- Use ripe kiwis for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free options like coconut or almond yogurt to keep it vegan.
- Adjust sweetness with honey or maple syrup according to your preference or omit it for a naturally sweet smoothie.
- Frozen strawberries can be used to chill the smoothie without adding ice.
- Consume immediately to enjoy the freshest taste and avoid oxidation.
