Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Prep your fruit
- Start by peeling the kiwis and banana. Slice them into chunks for easier blending. Pro tip: if your bananas are overly ripe, they’ll add even more natural sweetness to the smoothie.
Layer your ingredients
- In a high-speed blender, add the ingredients in this order:
- o Almond milk (or your chosen milk)
- o Greek yogurt
- o Kiwi and banana slices
- o Chia seeds
- o Honey (if using)
- o Ice cubes on top
- Adding the liquid first helps the blades catch everything more efficiently.
Blend until smooth
- Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until the texture is silky and uniform. You’re aiming for that dreamy creamy texture without any fruit chunks.
Taste and adjust
- Give it a quick taste. Want it sweeter? Add a little more honey. Need it thinner? Splash in more almond milk. Like it colder? Toss in a few more ice cubes and pulse again.
Serve immediately
- Pour into a tall glass or your favorite mason jar. Add a slice of kiwi or a mint sprig for a pretty touch if you’re feeling fancy.
