Ingredients

• 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and chopped
• 1 banana, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1 cup ice cubes
• Mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the chopped kiwis, sliced banana, fresh mint leaves, Greek yogurt, and orange juice. For a sweeter smoothie, add the honey.
2. Blend the mixture until smooth, about 1-2 minutes, until the kiwi seeds are well incorporated, and the mint is finely chopped, releasing a refreshing aroma.
3. Gradually add ice cubes and blend again until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency—cool, creamy, and irresistibly tangy.
4. Pour the smoothie into glasses, garnish with fresh mint sprigs, and serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant blend at its freshest.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If you don’t have fresh mint leaves, you can use a few drops of natural mint extract.
• For a dairy-free version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt.
• Freeze the chopped kiwi and banana beforehand for an even frostier drink.
• Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake or blend again before serving.

If kiwifruit is out of season, you can substitute with green grapes for a similar sweet-tart flavor.

Pairings and Complements

This Kiwi Mint Smoothie pairs beautifully with light, summery dishes like grilled chicken salads, veggie wraps, or fresh fruit platters. For a delightful mid-morning snack, enjoy it alongside a handful of mixed nuts or whole-grain crackers.
