Ingredients
Main
- Fresh Cut Kiwi Fruit
- 2 very ripe Kiwi peeled and chopped
- 1 ripe banana mine was pre-cut and frozen
- 1/2 cup cold plain almond milk vanilla would be good too
- 1/2 cup Chobani plain non-fat Greek yogurt (or something similar)
- 1 tablespoon pure organic honey
- throw in a few ice cubes if you'd like
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients; ensure kiwi is peeled and chopped, and the banana is ready (preferably frozen for best texture).
- Add the peeled and chopped kiwi, frozen banana, cold plain almond milk, Chobani plain non-fat Greek yogurt, and pure organic honey into a high-speed blender.
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary.
- If a colder or thicker consistency is desired, add a few ice cubes and blend again until fully incorporated and smooth.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness by adding a touch more honey if preferred.
- Pour the finished smoothie into serving glasses.
- Serve immediately to enjoy its fresh taste and optimal texture.
Notes
Ensure kiwi and banana are very ripe for optimal sweetness and smoother blending. A frozen banana is crucial for achieving a thick, creamy texture without excessive ice, which can dilute the vibrant fruit flavors. Adjust honey to your preference; taste and add gradually. For a richer flavor profile, consider using vanilla almond milk. Always blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to incorporate all ingredients for a uniform consistency.
