Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
  • 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen, sliced)
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy, almond, oat, or coconut)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 cup ice (optional, for a thicker, frostier texture)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • Squeeze of lime or lemon juice (optional, brightens the kiwi)

Instructions
 

  • Prep the fruit: Peel the kiwis and chop them. Slice the banana. For an extra creamy smoothie, use a frozen banana.
  • Add liquids first: Pour the milk and yogurt into the blender. This helps the blades move smoothly.
  • Layer in fruit: Add kiwi and banana on top of the liquids. Toss in a pinch of salt and a squeeze of lime if using.
  • Sweeten to taste: Drizzle in honey or maple syrup if you like a sweeter smoothie. Start small—you can always add more.
  • Blend until silky: Blend on high for 30–45 seconds, until the texture is smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
  • Adjust and chill: Taste and adjust sweetness or brightness. Add ice and blend again for a colder, thicker finish.
  • Serve right away: Pour into a cold glass and enjoy while it’s fresh and frosty.
