Instructions

  • Cut 3 thin slices from the thickest point of each kiwi to get 12 slices of kiwi.
  • Stick 3 slices on the inside of 4 glasses.
  • Place the remaining kiwis in a blender jar with banana and skyr and blend to a smooth smoothie.
  • Divide the smoothie between the glasses, sprinkle with spirulina powder, and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
Tip

When selecting kiwis for the smoothie, make sure that they are perfectly ripe. Their pronounced taste and firm texture are ideal for enhancing the flavour and decorating the inside of the glass.

Tip

Frozen bananas help give the smoothie a creamy, thick texture. However, if you want a thinner consistency, switch out the frozen bananas with fresh ones. Fresh bananas maintain a naturally creamy texture, but note that the smoothie will be less cool when served.

Tip

You can also serve it as a smoothie bowl. Instead of glasses, pour the mixture into bowls and decorate with the thin slices of kiwi on top.

Questions about kiwi fruit smoothie

Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions about making a delicious kiwi smoothie with bananas.

What goes well with kiwi in a smoothie?
Banana and vanilla-flavoured skyr go well with kiwi. By using these two ingredients, you make sure that the smoothie achieves the desired sweet and tangy flavour, as well as the ideal texture and consistency.
Can you put kiwi skin in a smoothie?
Yes, you can include the skin of a kiwi in a smoothie, as every part of the kiwi is edible. However, it comes with a 'but'. Not everyone enjoys the texture and the fuzzy feel the kiwi skin has. So, before you make a batch for the whole family, consider trying it out first to ensure everyone will enjoy a lovely, refreshing smoothie.
How to prepare kiwi for smoothie?
To prepare the kiwi for smoothies, simply peel and slice them thinly. In this recipe, we cut three slices from the thickest part of each kiwi and use them to decorate the glasses. The remaining kiwis are placed in the blender alongside frozen banana and skyr.
Can you make kiwi smoothie with milk?
Yes, you can make a kiwi smoothie with milk! Adding milk not only imparts a subtle sweetness that complements the fresh kiwi, but it also creates a smoother, more fluid texture. If you prefer, you can even substitute some of the skyr with milk. It is your smoothie, so feel free to experiment as you like!
