A sweet red apple and a tangy kiwi make this a crisp, easy green smoothie. A few spinach leaves deepen the colour without changing the fruity taste.
½

1
kiwi peeled
15 g
baby spinach
5 oz
water
Garnish: Apple slice · Ice: Served up, no ice
Light and tangy, with sweet apple, bright kiwi and a gentle green background.
Apple and kiwi are a reliable base for green smoothies: the apple brings mild sweetness and body, the kiwi a lively acidity and a lot of aroma. Baby spinach adds colour and greens with very little flavour of its own.
Kiwis are rich in vitamin C, and the apple adds fibre when the skin stays on. Light and quick to make, it is a good smoothie for breakfast or as a fresh drink between meals.
It is edible, but the fuzzy skin makes the smoothie rougher; peeling is recommended.
Yes, it contains only fruit, spinach and water.
