Ingredients

- 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 the kiwi fruit and chop it into chunks. This helps it blend quickly and evenly.

β¨ 3. Kiwi + Sparkling Water
- 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.
