Description
An elegant strawberry kiwi banana smoothie that refreshes with bright colors and refined balance, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe banana (sliced and chilled)
- 1 cup hulled strawberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 ripe kiwi (peeled and chopped)
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (cold)
- 1/2 cup cold almond milk (or dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
- Optional garnish: thin kiwi wheel, halved strawberry, or a mint leaf
Instructions
- Prepare the fruit: slice the banana, hull the strawberries, and peel and chop the kiwi.
- Mini-tip: Freeze banana slices for 30–60 minutes for a thicker, creamier result.
- Add liquids first: pour almond milk and yogurt into the blender.
- Add fruit and citrus: add banana, strawberries, kiwi, and lemon or lime juice.
- Pulse then blend: begin with short pulses, then blend on medium-high for 30–45 seconds.
- Adjust texture: if too thick, add almond milk and blend; if too thin, toss ice cubes or more frozen banana.
- Serve in chilled glass tumblers and garnish as desired.
Notes
Use chilled or lightly frozen banana for a creamy texture. Blend in stages to avoid air pockets. Taste before sweetening, as ripe fruit may need little or no added sugar.
