🥝 Creamy Kiwi-Banana Smoothie
Prep time: 5 minutes | Servings: 1 large glass
Ingredients
2 ripe kiwis (peeled and sliced)
1 frozen banana (sliced; using a frozen banana gives it that thick, creamy texture)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1/2 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, or dairy)
1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional, depending on how sweet your fruit is)
Handful of ice cubes
Extra slices of kiwi and banana (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the Fruit: Peel your kiwis and banana. To get the look in the photo, set aside one round slice of each fruit to perch on the rim of the glass.
Blend: Place the kiwis, frozen banana, yogurt, milk, and sweetener into a high-speed blender.
Adjust Texture: Add the ice cubes and blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth and bright green. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk; if too thin, add more ice.
Assemble: Pour into a tall glass. If you want the “fruit inside” look from the photo, drop a few small kiwi chunks into the glass before pouring.
Garnish: Slice a small notch into your reserved kiwi and banana rounds and slide them onto the rim of the glass.
💡 Pro-Tips for the Best Result
The Color: If you want an even more intense green without changing the flavor, toss in a small handful of fresh baby spinach. You won’t taste it, but it boosts the nutrients and the “wow” factor.
The Ripeness: Make sure your kiwis are slightly soft to the touch. Under-ripe kiwis can be quite tart and grainy.
