How To Make Kiwi Smoothie
- Add all of the ingredients to the blender. I have this Blendtec Blender, and if you use a blender often, it is absolutely worth the money with how powerful it is.
- Process until nice and smooth.
- Pour into glasses and serve.

Recipe Tips & Suggestions
- Frozen. If you like a thick and cold smoothie you can freeze the kiwi and banana ahead of time and skip the ice.
- Make Ahead. I wouldn’t actually fully blend the smoothie ahead of time, but you can prep little bags with the spinach and fruit. You can have them in the freezer waiting for you, so in the morning all you have to do is blend it with the yogurt and liquid.
- Add-Ins. This is a great base smoothie that you can really add anything you like to. I use Greek yogurt so it has added protein, but if you want to add protein powder or greens powder you absolutely can. You can add chia seeds or hemp hearts as well for even more nutrition.
- Other Fruits. Other fruits are great to mix in with the kiwi. I like banana to help make it creamy, but you could add mango or pineapple or even avocado adds healthy fats and makes it super creamy.

Peeling Kiwi
The recipe calls for peeling the kiwi, but if you have a powerful blender you can skip this step. It will blend up and you won’t know it is in there. The skin has a lot of nutrients, so it is worth leaving on if you can. Some blenders won’t get it as smooth, so it is up to you if you want to peel or not.















Kiwi and spinach might just be the only combination ever that my kids would buy! I’m certainly game to try it though.
Love this smoothie! I sneak spinach into my kids smoothies too and they love them. I can’t wait to try this one.
I love it! I just bought some kiwi yesterday. This looks and sounds so good!
Yum…I love kiwi fruit in a smoothie. I have a kiwi everyday because I read somewhere that there is more vitamin C in kiwi than an orange 🙂
Delish! You are making me thirsty. What a perfect combination…..Yum!
I have also never tried a green smoothie but I’ve really been wanting to! I know I need to add more green veges into my diet so I’m going to give this one a try. I’ll report back!
Do let me know, I hope you like it!
You were right Erin – can’t taste the spinach at all! I am enjoying the smoothie now and it’s delicious. Also – if anyone wants to make this vegan, I used vanilla soy yogurt and it was nice and creamy and added just a little bit of sweetness. Thanks for the recipe!
Yeah!! So glad you liked it!
I have a hard time with a lot of green smoothies because I can’t cover up the spinach taste enough, but I haven’t tried one with kiwi yet. I will give it a try sometime!
I eat one of these almost everyday. I heard that the banana takes the spinach taste away. Whatever else you put in it is what you taste.
Such a pretty green color! Even though I’m not a fan of these juices myself, I’m tempted to try it!
I seriously love green smoothies!
