With only two fruits, this smoothie depends entirely on ripeness. A soft, fragrant mango and a kiwi that yields to the touch give you sweetness and tang in equal measure.

Pure Kiwi Mango Smoothie
Taste
Sweet and tangy, with a smooth, pulpy body and a tropical mango aroma.
About this smoothie
Mango and kiwi balance each other well. Mango is sweet, creamy and low in acidity, while kiwi is sharp, juicy and rich in vitamin C. Blended together with a little water, they need no yogurt or sweetener.
The tiny black kiwi seeds stay whole and give the drink small dark specks. If the kiwi is still hard, leave it at room temperature next to an apple for a day or two to soften. A golden kiwi makes the smoothie sweeter and more yellow. It is a good choice for a warm morning or as a light snack.
Bartender tips
Frozen mango cubes give a thicker, ice-cold smoothie with no extra effort.
A ripe kiwi yields slightly to gentle pressure; hard ones taste sour.
Variations
Golden kiwi
Use a golden kiwi for a sweeter, less acidic smoothie with a brighter yellow color.
