🍓 Strawberry Kiwi Banana Smoothie

This recipe yields approximately one large glass (about 12–16 oz).

Strawberries: 1 cup fresh or frozen (provides the pink color and base sweetness).
Kiwi: 1 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced (adds a tropical tang and vitamin C).
Banana: 1 ripe banana (ideally frozen for a creamier, thicker texture).
Liquid Base: 1/2 to 3/4 cup of your choice (milk, almond milk, or coconut water work best).
Optional Creaminess: 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or a spoonful of chia seeds for extra thickness.

Prepare the Fruit:
- Wash the strawberries and remove the green hulls.
- Peel the kiwi and the banana. Slice them into smaller chunks to make blending easier.
Combine: Place the banana, strawberries, and kiwi into your blender.
Add Liquid: Pour in your liquid base. Start with 1/2 cup; you can add more later if you prefer a thinner consistency.
Blend: Secure the lid and blend on high for about 30–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and those tiny kiwi seeds are evenly distributed.
Serve: Pour into a glass immediately while cold.

Temperature: Using at least one frozen fruit (usually the banana) is the secret to getting that thick, frosty texture seen in the photo without needing to add ice, which can water down the flavor.
Balance: If your kiwi is very tart, you can add a drizzle of honey or a pitted date to the blender to sweeten it up naturally.
Garnish: For a professional look, save a small slice of kiwi or a strawberry to place on the rim of the glass.
