Equipment

  • 1 Blender A high-speed blender is recommended for a smooth consistency.
  • 1 Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Spatula For scraping down the blender sides.

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 and ensure the kiwi and banana are ripe, with the banana ideally pre-cut and frozen.
  • Carefully peel the very ripe kiwi fruits and chop them into smaller, manageable pieces.
  • If your banana is not already pre-cut and frozen, peel and chop it into a few pieces.
  • Add the chopped kiwi, banana (frozen if applicable), cold plain almond milk, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, and pure organic honey into a high-speed blender.
  • If desired and your banana isn't frozen, add a few ice cubes to the blender for a colder, thicker smoothie.
  • Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no visible fruit chunks.
  • Stop the blender and scrape down the sides with a spatula if necessary to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  • Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness with additional honey if needed, or thin it with a splash more almond milk if it's too thick.
  • Pour the freshly made smoothie into serving glasses.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal texture and temperature.

Notes

For optimal flavor and texture, ensure both the kiwi and banana are very ripe; the banana, especially if frozen, provides significant creaminess and a natural chill. Consider using vanilla almond milk for a subtle aromatic sweetness, or stick with plain for a purer fruit flavor. Adjust the amount of honey to taste, as the ripeness of the fruit will dictate natural sweetness. If using a frozen banana, you may need fewer ice cubes to achieve the desired thickness without diluting the flavor. Blend until perfectly smooth, avoiding any fibrous kiwi bits.
