Healthy Strawberry Banana Kiwi Smoothie Recipe Video

on Mar 05, 2021, Updated Mar 17, 2024 Here are some more smoothie recipes: Banana Beet Smoothie, Strawberry Blueberry Smoothie, and Strawberry Banana Pineapple Smoothie. Making smoothies is so much fun. It releases your inner artist. It’s interesting to make combinations using various fruits, dairy, seeds, and nuts that pair well with each other. This strawberry, kiwi, and banana combo is no less than an art. The sweet and sour taste of kiwi and strawberries and the creamy texture of the banana pair so well, as if they were meant to be together. I almost always have various frozen fruits in my freezer, so making this dump-and-go smoothie took just five minutes. Now, I am already dreaming about the variations I can make using the base recipe.

About Strawberry Banana Kiwi Smoothie

Made using fresh or frozen juicy sweet strawberries, tart kiwi, and ripe banana, this Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie is a great way to start the day. It is excellent for breakfast on busy mornings and makes a great evening snack or a healthy dessert post-dinner. Add protein powder to enjoy as a pre- or post-workout drink. If strawberries are not in season, buy frozen strawberries, or check out my post on How to Freeze Strawberries when they are in season so you can use them year-round. Kiwi – Kiwi adds to the sweet and sour taste of strawberries. Peel, slice, and freeze them for a creamy texture of the smoothie. Banana – Add sliced and frozen bananas to create that perfect creamy texture and added sweetness. Milk – Add milk to thin the smoothie. You can also replace milk with Greek yogurt. To make the smoothie vegan, replace dairy milk with plant-based milk (non-dairy milk) like oat milk, almond milk, coconut milk, etc. You can also replace the milk with coconut water, apple juice, or orange juice. Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are high in antioxidants, protein, and fiber. They can do wonders for your skin and hair. Honey – To boost sweetness further, add honey. Skip honey if you think the smoothie has enough sweetness from the fruits. You can replace it with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan smoothie. If you make the Kiwi strawberry smoothie for a pre- or post-workout meal, you can add 1 tablespoon of protein powder or whey protein. Add nuts and seeds like hemp seeds, flax seeds, cashew nuts, etc. Greens like spinach or kale also work well in this recipe. You can add other berries, such as raspberries and blueberries, or fruits like mango, papaya, pineapple, etc. You can add peanut butter, almond butter, rolled oats, instant oats, etc to this recipe. Peel 1 large banana and cut it into slices. Freeze for 3-4 hours. Peel 2 kiwis and cut them into slices. Freeze for 3-4 hours. Note – If you forget to freeze the fruit and want to make the smoothie immediately, add a few ice cubes to the blender along with the fruit.

2 frozen kiwis, peeled and sliced 10-12 frozen strawberries, hulled and sliced 1 frozen banana, peeled and sliced ½ cup milk 1 teaspoon chia seeds 2 teaspoon honey

Note: Thaw the frozen fruits for 10 minutes if they are too hard to blend. Blend until smooth. You might have to push down the ingredients using a large spoon a few times while blending. If the smoothie is too thick, add some milk. Check for the sweetener and add more if necessary. Pour the smoothie into 2 serving glasses. Garnish with whole fresh strawberries, edible flowers, and mint leaves, and serve immediately.
