Description
Banana Kiwi Smoothie is a refreshing, creamy, fruit-packed drink made from ripe banana, tangy kiwi, and milk or yogurt. It’s quick to blend, naturally sweet, and full of vitamins and fiber—perfect for breakfast, post‑workout fuel, or a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 2 medium kiwis, peeled and chopped (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as almond, oat, or soy)
- 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a colder texture)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
- Add banana, kiwi, milk, and yogurt (if using) into a blender.
- Add ice cubes for a thicker, colder smoothie, and honey or maple syrup if desired.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness, adding more milk or a little water if needed.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For a greener, more nutrient‑dense smoothie, add a handful of spinach or kale before blending.
- Swap banana for frozen banana slices or add frozen pineapple or mango for extra tropical flavor.
- Use non-dairy yogurt and milk to make it fully vegan.
- For added fiber and omega-3s, stir in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
- Best enjoyed fresh. If stored, keep refrigerated and shake before drinking; consume within 24 hours.
