Kiwi gives this green smoothie a clean, tangy taste that makes it feel more like juice than salad. With only three ingredients it is ready in two minutes.
2
kiwi ripe, peeled
30 g
baby spinach
5 oz
coconut water
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Light, tangy and fresh, with sweet kiwi, a mild green note and a slight crunch from the seeds.
Kiwis are well known for their high vitamin C content, and their sweet and sour flavour pairs naturally with mild baby spinach. Coconut water adds a gentle sweetness and keeps the drink light, so this is more of a refresher than a meal.
The tiny black kiwi seeds stay whole and give a little crunch. Use fully ripe kiwis that give under light pressure; unripe ones make the smoothie sharp. A good match for a morning start or after a workout on a warm day.
Usually the seeds were crushed by blending too long; blend kiwi only briefly at the end.
Yes, they are sweeter and less tart, and the colour turns more yellow green.
