Ingredients in Kiwi Smoothie:

• Kiwi
• Banana
• Milk (or dairy-free milk)
• Plain or Vanilla Flavored Protein Powder (whey or dairy-free)
• Honey (optional)
• Chia seeds (optional)

While the banana and kiwi add sweetness to this kiwi smoothie, you can always add honey to add a touch more. If you don't like honey you can also use maple syrup, or a vanilla sweetened almond milk.

If you love adding chia seeds to your smoothies, you'll want to try this Chia Seed Smoothie next.

How to tell if a kiwi is ripe:

The best way to check to see if a kiwi is ripe to is put a little pressure on it. If it's hard, then it's not ripe. If it gives in a little then it is ripe. Kiwi's also smell slightly sweet when they are ripe.

Kiwi Smoothie Add-ins:

• Chocolate Protein Powder (instead of plain or vanilla)

Tips for making smoothies:

• Always put the liquid into the blender first. This will help keep the blender from jamming up.
• Omit the ice if you are using frozen ingredients, like a frozen chopped banana. Then add ice until you get your desired consistency.
• If your smoothie calls for two or more types of fruit, don’t use all frozen fruit otherwise the liquid will freeze the fruit and the blender will jam up.
• If you like a thinner smoothie, add more water, milk, or dairy-free milk.
• If you like a thicker smoothie, add more fresh or frozen fruit. Don’t add more ice.
• For a sweeter smoothie, add additional sweet fruits or add a tablespoon of honey, agave, or maple syrup.

These tips are for all smoothies, not just this kiwi smoothie.

You can use fresh or frozen kiwi in this kiwi smoothie e. You can also use fresh or frozen banana. Just make sure to add in enough milk or dairy-free milk to get the smoothie consistency.
