Skin-On Kiwi Smoothie

Also known as the anti-constipation smoothie! Inspired by our friend, gastroenterologist and chef Dr. Saliha Mahmood Ahmed who recommends eating two k...iwis with the skin on if you need to get things moving. (We only used one kiwi in our recipe because we felt it tasted nicer- feel free to add more if you feel like it). Simply wash, blend, and enjoy a naturally sweet, tropically-flavoured boost for your gut. This tastes especially nice when made with a frozen banana - it gives a satisfying creamy texture.

Very good. Great with coconut water or milk too :)

Aukje 2 months ago

Wow, I expected a weird taste or texture due to the kiwi skin, but it just tastes really good and smooth. I used carrot juice instead of water and that turned out very nice.

Gina 2 months ago

Easy and tasty 😊

Pretty good. Added half an avocado, cayenne pepper, 90% chocolate square and a little Greek yogurt. It was much better.

Lisa 3 months ago

Delicious! I swapped spinach for 1 leaf cavalo Nero - rib out, 1 leaf of lettuce & 1” cucumber. 200ml water. No maple syrup.

Whizz this up for a couple of minutes to get a silky luxurious consistency. It is gorgeous. Palate zinger for the a great start to the day.

So tasty!! Love it!

Very tasty smoothie. Used sunflower seeds instead of hemp (all I had to hand) Like many others no maple syrup was needed.

Alison 3 months ago

Enjoyed this smoothie. Didn't add maple syrup.

Jo 4 months ago

Very tasty. I was surprised how creamy the texture was. I tasted it first and found it to be quite sweet so didn’t need any maple syrup. Another recipe I would recommend and will make again. Thank you

Emma 4 months ago

Delicious, made as per recipe and used all the water. Very quick and simple.

Really good. I replaced water with soya milk and kefir and added soaked chia seeds for extra plant points

Tastes like a lot of bananas. Nice texture.

Tastes great, simple to make. I can grab a bunch of clearance bananas and freeze them for this kind of smoothie! I would suggest to put water in the list of ingredients and to specify what "start with a little" means, so for example write "50 ml or more". It's tough having to chase around a block of text in the morning looking for ingredients and amounts.
