Creamy Kiwi & Mint Green Smoothie

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe kiwi, peeled and chopped

  • ½ ripe avocado

  • A handful of fresh mint leaves

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • ½ cup water (or coconut water for extra hydration)

  • Optional: 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if you prefer extra sweetness; a few ice cubes for a colder drink.

Instructions

  1. Prep the Fruit: Peel the kiwi and scoop out the flesh. Remove the pit and skin from the avocado, using only the creamy green flesh.

  2. Combine: Place the kiwi, avocado, fresh mint leaves, and lemon juice into your blender.

  3. Blend: Add the water (and sweetener/ice, if using). Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.

  4. Adjust: If the consistency is too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired thickness.

  5. Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with an extra sprig of mint or a slice of kiwi for a beautiful presentation.
