About this smoothie

This is one of the simplest smoothies in the collection and a good starting point for beginners. Kiwi adds a lively acidity and is well known for its vitamin C content. Half a banana provides sweetness and creaminess, so no sugar is needed. Unsweetened almond drink is light and slightly nutty, and it keeps the smoothie dairy free. Enjoy it as a light breakfast or a quick snack.

Bartender tips

  • Blend kiwi briefly: long blending crushes the seeds and can add bitterness.
  • A frozen banana makes the drink thicker and colder.

Variations

With almond butter
Add 1 tsp almond butter for a stronger nutty flavour and more body.

Frequently asked questions

Is it vegan?

Yes, all ingredients are plant based.

Do I need to peel the kiwi?

Peeling is recommended; the hairy skin is edible but gives a rough texture.

Can I use milk?

Yes, cow milk makes it creamier, but then it is no longer vegan.
