For more refreshing fruity smoothies, try our mango smoothie, pear smoothie, and coconut milk smoothie! This kiwi smoothie is an easy and delicious way to consume a lot of nutrition at once. It’s really high in antioxidants and vitamin C, and it’s also packed with fiber, healthy fats, protein, and probiotics. We love the tartness that kiwis offer, but we know not everyone does. Usually, the banana and pineapple are sweet enough to balance things out. But if not, a tablespoon of honey always does the trick. Enjoy this kid-friendly smoothie as a quick and healthy snack or breakfast on the go. Whether your day is filled with adventure or back-to-back meetings, it’ll keep you fuelled all morning long.
Kiwi – kiwis are abundant in vitamin C, which is great for your immune system. They can be tart but the sweetness of the ripe banana and pineapple helps to balance it out. Banana – bananas are very nutritious and make this smoothie creamy. If you have a spotty one, this is a great time to use it. The riper the banana, the sweeter it is! We always have some frozen bananas in our freezer, which we use for smoothies. Pineapple – pineapple is loaded with vitamins and minerals and contains an enzyme called bromelain which is especially beneficial for digestion. Spinach – greens like spinach are rich in nutrients and fiber. It also makes this smoothie a vibrant green color. Yogurt – yogurt makes this smoothie more substantial and enhances it with probiotics. We prefer plain Greek yogurt but you can use any yogurt. Use a dairy-free yogurt to make it a vegan smoothie. Water – to help the smoothie blend nice and smooth. Hemp hearts – hemp hearts contain healthy omega 3’s fatty acids and protein. You can swap them for chia seeds if you prefer! Honey – the honey is optional but is a natural way of adding a touch of sweetness to offset the tartness of the kiwis. You can also use agave or maple syrup.
Avocado – add ½ a ripe avocado for added fats and extra creaminess. Healthy fat is important for everyone, but especially kids! Nut butter – add a tablespoon or two of nut butter like almond butter, cashew butter, or even peanut butter. The added fat and protein will make this smoothie more satiating, and you’ll barely notice the slightly nutty taste. Protein powder – give your smoothie a boost with a scoop of your favorite protein powder. Our go-to is usually vanilla, but unflavored works, too. Berries – add a handful of frozen strawberries to make it a strawberry kiwi smoothie!
