Green Kiwi Smoothie
Description
Green Kiwi Smoothie combines kale and orange juice with plain or sweetened yogurt initially blended until smooth, helping break down the greens for a velvety base. Then peeled kiwi, pineapple chunks, ice, and honey are added and blended until creamy and fully incorporated. The honey balances the tartness of the kiwi and pineapple, while the yogurt adds creaminess and mild tang.
The smoothie has a vibrant green color and a balanced texture that is both smooth and slightly thick, depending on yogurt choice and ice amount. The fresh fruit provides natural sweetness and tropical notes, complemented by optional kale for a mild earthy flavor and added nutrients.
Serving immediately preserves freshness and vibrant flavor. Using frozen fruit instead of fresh can produce a thicker smoothie, while sweetened yogurt or additional honey will increase sweetness. Leftover smoothie can be frozen in ice cube trays and used later in smoothies to add flavor and chill.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup kale optional
- ¼ cup orange juice
- ⅓ cup PLAIN yogurt or sweetened, see note
- 4 kiwi
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1 cup ice
- 1-2 teaspoons honey
Instructions
- Place kale, orange juice, and yogurt in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Blend kale with orange juice and yogurt first to ensure it is fully smooth and well incorporated.
- Fresh fruit yields a thinner smoothie; frozen fruit can be used to thicken the texture.
- Choose sweetened or plain yogurt; increase honey if using plain for more sweetness.
- Leftover smoothie can be frozen in ice cube trays to add to future smoothies.
