Additions and Variations
- I add plain water, which I find works well with the sweet fruit in this recipe. You could use a plant-based milk (like almond milk or cashew milk) for a creamier smoothie, or coconut water for a more tropical flavor.
- In addition to pineapple, you can add other fruits like mango or strawberries – both pair really well with the flavor of kiwis!
- You can add a 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, or fresh herbs (like basil or parsley) for a fun refreshing twist!
The Best Blender for the Job
I recommend using a good-quality high speed blender for this recipe. I have a fantastic Vitamix blender, which I have been using for years, and it gets daily use in our home.
Choose a blender that has a lot of power, and can pulverize even the toughest of ingredients. My blender can chop ice, dates, frozen fruits, make soups, and even blend nuts into homemade nut butter. Using a good high-speed blender will make perfectly creamy smoothies and sauces every time!
I recently got a stainless steel container for my blender, and have been loving it, as you can see in the photos below! It’s a great way to reduce the amount of plastic in our kitchen.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: Prep your kiwi – cut each kiwi in half. Insert a spoon between the peel and the flesh, and loosen the inside of the kiwi flesh. It should slide out of the peel, and place the kiwi flesh inside the blender.
Step 2: Add the banana, pinapple,spinach, peeled orange to the blender along with the kiwi.
Step 3: If using the protein powder, add it into the smoothie, then add the water and ice.
Step 4: Blend on low, and increase speed until all fruit/ice chunks are blended and the smoothie is a creamy consistency.
Step 5: Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
Recipe FAQs
You could use a plant-based milk (like almond milk or cashew milk) for a creamier smoothie, or coconut water for a more tropical flavor. If you want a sweeter smoothie, orange or apple juice would work as well. For this smoothie, I find plain water and ice, as I find the fruits are sweet enough on their own!
Absolutely! Frozen kiwi works well in this drink, and can give the smoothie a creamy texture. Just reduce the amount of ice or skip it altogether if you’re using frozen fruit.
While I prefer to make my smoothies fresh and enjoy them within an hour of blending – you can make this up to a day in advance and refrigerate in an airtight container. Just be sure to give the smoothie a shake before you enjoy it, as it may seperate in the refrigerator.
Pro Tip
To save even more time in the morning, you can prep the ingredients the night before! I like to peel my banana, orange, and kiwi, and place it with my pineapple in a freezer bag, and freeze overnight. That way in the morning, I can just add liquid and ice, and blend away in about 2 minutes!
Dietary Modifications
- This recipe is vegan and gluten free – if you are adding a protein powder, make sure it aligns with any dietary modifications you require. I like a vegan and gluten free unsweetened pea protein for this smoothie, if I’m adding a powder!
