Kiwis are a delightful and underused fruit, but this kiwi smoothie recipe is going to change that. It\u2019s a great way to get some nutrients into the kids, and a treat that you will enjoy as well.<\/p>\n
Best of all, a smoothie is a snack you can whip up in just a few minutes, so if you\u2019ve got hungry tummies at the table, this is a great way to satisfy them. Also, you can sneak some nuts and even spinach into this kiwi banana smoothie. More on that later!<\/p>\n
In a blender, combine the fruit, yogurt, honey and extract (if desired), then cover and process until everything has combined.<\/p>\n Add the ice, then cover and process again until the smoothie is blended, stirring if necessary. Pour the blend into chilled glasses and serve immediately.<\/p>\n Perhaps the one bad thing about smoothies is that they really have to be enjoyed fresh. If these smoothies sit for more than 10 or 15 minutes, they will start to warm and lose their pleasant consistency, and they don\u2019t do well in the fridge, even for an hour.<\/p>\n You can freeze these smoothies by pouring them into popsicle molds and enjoying them as a frozen treat a few hours or even weeks later.<\/p>\n A lot, really. You can add other fruits like strawberries or raspberries, some protein-rich nondairy milk, and things like chia seeds and more. Just do so in moderation.<\/p>\n In a large one, yes, but you will likely have to work in batches and be patient scraping the ingredients back down toward the blades. A blender works much better.<\/p>\n Don’t! Save yourself some time with this trick: Slice the kiwis in half, then scoop out the fruit with a spoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These fresh-flavored smoothies can start a day out right or perk up an afternoon.
