Last summer, I, along with my friends, had a party at my house. My friends asked for something good to drink, something SMOOTHIE. The options are quite countless, but why not try some own combinations?
We went through lots of ideas, hours of blending, and finally got a good taste for our tongue. Yes, you’re thinking exactly what I am going to talk about! A delicious Kiwi Banana Smoothie. This recipe is one of the good smoothies in terms of taste and as well as nutrition. This makes it a healthy breakfast for grown-ups as well as an energy booster for adults.
Kiwi Banana Smoothie could be a healthy energy recipe for kids who don’t prefer leafy greens. It is an easy and quick breakfast. The smoothie is better preferred to take before some muscle work.

How to prepare Kiwi Banana Smoothie
Equipment
- Juice Blender
Ingredients
- 2 Medium-sized Bananas
- 3 Frozen Medium-sized Kiwis
- 1 cup Crushed Ice
- 1 cup Yogurt
- ⅓ cup Orange Juice
- 1 tbsp Honey (Optional)
Instructions
- Peel, wash, and chop bananas and kiwis.
- Place all of them in a blender.
- Blend until it turns into a creamy look.
- Add yogurt, orange juice, and honey and blend it for 15 to 30 seconds. Although these ingredients are included, these are not a must and can easily be replaced with any related ingredients (For example, sugar instead of honey).
- If you had chosen to include ice cubes for extra chillness, add them and blend it again for another 1 minute.
- Take two serving glasses and pour it on both.
- Finally, take small slices of bananas and kiwis and garnish with them.
Notes
- Yogurt or milk plays a good role in changing the drink's flavor, and it is advised not to add yogurt/milk in more amounts. It also suppresses the flavor of the fruits if overused.
- Yogurt may be wholly removed from the smoothie recipe or just replaced with almond milk or just milk for the taste difference. Still, overuse is not recommended.
Suggestions
- Crushed ice while blending gives chillness to the smoothie, which feels good, especially in hot summers.
- I will recommend you to add a tablespoon of honey. It adds sweetness to your smoothie and is also a beneficial substitute for other sweet ingredients for your healthy diet. But still, it is not a must ingredient for the banana kiwi recipe.
- Use regular yogurt instead of frozen ones.
- In case you want to use bananas instead of oranges, try some frozen and ripe bananas to give extra texture.
- It is better to serve Smoothie before working out.
