Fresh or frozen strawberries
Ripe kiwi, peeled and chopped
Banana (for creaminess and natural sweetness)

Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Honey or maple syrup (optional)
Ice cubes (if using fresh fruit)

Directions

I add the strawberries, kiwi, banana, yogurt, and milk to a blender.
If I’m using fresh fruit, I toss in a few ice cubes to give it that chilled, frosty texture.
I blend everything until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
I taste and adjust the sweetness with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, if necessary.
I pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy it immediately while it’s cold and fresh.

Variations

Sometimes I add a handful of spinach or kale to sneak in some greens. For extra protein, I use Greek yogurt or add a scoop of protein powder. If I’m in the mood for a tropical twist, I throw in a few chunks of pineapple or mango. I’ve also made this with coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version.

Storage/Reheating

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. I give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate slightly. I don’t reheat or freeze it—it’s meant to be enjoyed cold. Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie

FAQs

Can I use frozen fruit?

Yes, I often use frozen strawberries or kiwi for a thicker, colder smoothie. When I do, I usually skip the ice cubes.

What kind of yogurt works best?

I like using plain or vanilla Greek yogurt for creaminess and extra protein, but regular yogurt or non-dairy yogurt works just as well.

Is this smoothie good for breakfast?

Absolutely. It’s light but filling, and the combination of fruit, yogurt, and banana gives me energy to start my day.

Can I make it without banana?

Yes. I sometimes use avocado or extra yogurt to keep the creamy texture without the banana flavor.

How do I make it sweeter?

If the fruit isn’t sweet enough on its own, I add a small amount of honey, maple syrup, or even a date to naturally boost the sweetness.

Conclusion

Strawberry kiwi smoothie is one of my favorite blends for a quick, refreshing treat. It’s fruity, creamy, and so easy to make with just a few ingredients. Whether I’m sipping it for breakfast or as a pick-me-up during the day, this smoothie always delivers a delicious boost of flavor and freshness.
