Description
Learn how to make 3 ingredient kiwi juice (in a blender!) This juice is a healthy snack for the kids or a cool kiwi drink for yourself. Itβs vibrant, refreshing, and tastes like summer in a glass. π₯π
Ingredients
400g ripe kiwi fruit (4 medium-sized kiwi fruit), peeled and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons honey (or more to taste)
1 handful of ice cubes
A splash of water (optional) * I love adding sparkling water!
Instructions
Prep the kiwi: Peel your kiwi fruit and chop it into chunks. This makes blending quicker and smoother.
Add to the blender: Pop the kiwi, honey, and ice cubes into your blender.
Blend: Whiz on high speed for 20β30 seconds until smooth and frothy.
Serve immediately: Pour into a glass and enjoy chilled!
π Pro tip: If you prefer your kiwi smoothie thinner, add a splash of cold water before blending.
VARIATIONS:
Add a few fresh mint leaves to the blender before blending.
π Perfect for a hot summer day β super refreshing and light.
Squeeze in the juice of a lime. About 1 teaspoon or more if you like.
π This gives your kiwi smoothie a tangy twist thatβs next-level good.
Blend your kiwi, honey, and ice cubes as usual. Then, top it up with cold sparkling water and give it a gentle stir.
π Instant homemade soda β but way healthier!
Notes
1. Use ripe kiwi for natural sweetness π
The riper the kiwi, the sweeter and juicier your drink will be. This way, you may not even need extra honey. A good ripe kiwi should feel slightly soft to the touch β not mushy.
2. Adjust the thickness to your liking π§
Want a smoothie vibe? Use less water or extra ice. Want a lighter fruit juice? Add a splash of cold water or coconut water.
3. Blend in short bursts β‘
This helps create a smooth texture without over-blending. Over-blending can make kiwi juice a bit foamy.
4. Serve immediately for the freshest flavor π₯€
Kiwi juice can oxidize and change color if it sits too long. Enjoy it right away for that bright green color and zingy taste.
