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.

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 Last week

Enjoyed this smoothie. Didn't add maple syrup.

Jo 3 weeks ago

Very tasty. I was surprised how creamy the texture was. I tasted it first and found it to be quite sweet so didnโ€™t need any maple syrup. Another recipe I would recommend and will make again. Thank you

Emma 3 weeks ago

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

Helen Last month

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.
