Kiwi Apple Smoothie with Fruit Tea

Green apple and kiwi are both on the tart side, so this smoothie is crisp and awake rather than sweet. Fruit tea adds a soft, fruity round note.

About this smoothie

Green apples, such as Granny Smith, are firm and tart and give smoothies a crisp freshness. Kiwi adds juicy acidity and is known for its high vitamin C content. Blended whole, the apple keeps its fibre, which gives the drink some body even without banana or yogurt. Cooled fruit tea replaces juice and brings aroma without added sugar. It is a light smoothie for people who prefer fresh over sweet.

Bartender tips

  • A powerful blender makes the apple peel disappear; otherwise, peel the apple.
  • For more sweetness, swap the green apple for a sweet red variety.

Variations

With spinach
Add 20 g baby spinach for a greener colour without changing the flavour much.
