Zesty and sour-sweet with bright green apple, juicy kiwi and a soft coconut note.
About this smoothie
Tart green apples such as Granny Smith pair naturally with kiwi, and together they create a crisp, sour and very fresh drink. Coconut water adds a mild sweetness, and half a teaspoon of coconut oil gives the thin liquid a little more body. Both kiwi and apple contribute vitamin C and fibre.
If you prefer it sweeter, use a ripe kiwi and add a few pieces of banana. A good pick for a hot morning.
Bartender tips
Blend the coconut oil with room temperature liquid first so it does not set in flakes.
Half a banana balances the acidity if needed.
Variations
Without coconut oil
Leave out the oil for a lighter, more juice-like drink.
