About this smoothie

Kiwis are among the fruits richest in vitamin C and bring a pleasant acidity to milky smoothies. Their tiny black seeds stay whole in most blenders and add a light crunch.

Together with banana, oats, yogurt and milk they make a balanced breakfast that is quick to prepare. Drink it soon after blending: kiwi contains an enzyme that can make dairy taste slightly bitter if it stands for a long time.

Bartender tips

  • Use a ripe kiwi that yields to gentle pressure; hard kiwis are very sour.
  • Frozen banana pieces make the smoothie thicker and colder.

Variations

Tropical kiwi
Replace half the milk with coconut water for a lighter version.

Frequently asked questions

Why does kiwi taste bitter with milk sometimes?

Kiwi contains an enzyme that breaks down milk protein over time. Drink the smoothie fresh and it stays mild.

Can I make it vegan?

Yes, use oat drink and a plant-based yogurt.

Do I have to peel the kiwi?

Peeling is usual. Gold kiwis can be blended with their thin skin if washed well.
