Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie Recipe
Description
This smoothie starts by combining thawed frozen strawberries and peeled kiwi with milk and plain Greek yogurt in a blender. The softer ingredients are placed closer to the blade to facilitate smoother blending. Blending begins at low speed, gradually increasing to high for about 1-2 minutes until creamy and well mixed. Additional sweetener is added if desired, and the mixture is re-blended to incorporate it evenly.
The final result is a thick, smooth smoothie showcasing the fresh flavors of strawberry and kiwi accented by the creaminess of yogurt and milk. The option to use various milk types or yogurts accommodates different dietary preferences and flavor profiles.
This smoothie yields approximately two 8-ounce servings or one large 16-ounce portion, making it suitable for sharing or an individual meal replacement. The drink may be garnished or served with extra fruit pieces for added texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberry thawed for 5 minutes, frozen
- 2 kiwi peeled and cut in half, medium

Instructions
