Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled
Dairy & Liquids
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt
- 1/2 cup orange juice (or almond milk for a dairy-free option)
Sweetener (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Additional
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit: Peel and chop the kiwis into small pieces to ensure easy blending. If using fresh strawberries, remove the stems and cut them in halves to help them blend smoothly.
- Blend the Ingredients: Place the chopped kiwi, strawberries, Greek yogurt, orange juice, and honey or maple syrup (if using) into a blender. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, without any lumps.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the smoothie’s thickness. If it’s too thick for your liking, gradually add more orange juice or almond milk, and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add Ice (Optional): For a colder and thicker smoothie, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and pulse until the smoothie is chilled and has a thicker texture.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses immediately to enjoy its fresh flavor and creamy texture at its best.
Notes
- You can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available, which will also make the smoothie colder.
- Substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free or vegan option.
- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, adjust the honey or maple syrup quantity to taste.
- Adding ice cubes is optional but recommended for a thicker, more refreshing texture.
