Kiwi adds a bright, tangy flavor and lots of vitamin C. Peel it first; the skin is edible but fuzzy and can be bitter blended.
Ingredients
You’ll need: Blender
Method
Peel and halve the kiwis.
Add the coconut water, kiwi, strawberries and banana.
Blend on high until smooth.
Tips
Don’t over-blend: crushed kiwi seeds can turn bitter.
