About this smoothie

A simple two-fruit smoothie with a pleasant contrast: sweet, starchy banana against juicy, sour kiwi. Kiwis are known for their vitamin C, bananas for potassium, and together they make a well-rounded breakfast drink.

The pale green colour and the tiny black seeds make it look fresh in the glass. Coconut milk gives more body than coconut water, so this version is more filling. Blend the kiwi only briefly to keep the seeds whole.

Bartender tips

  • Adding the kiwi last keeps the seeds intact and prevents bitterness.
  • For a colder drink, use a frozen banana.

Variations

Green version
Add 20 g baby spinach for a stronger green colour without changing the taste much.

Frequently asked questions

Can I leave the kiwi skin on?

It is edible, but the fuzzy skin changes the texture; peeling gives a smoother drink.

Can I use coconut water instead?

Yes, the smoothie will be lighter and less creamy.

Is it vegan?

Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
