Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie

Kiwi and strawberries are blended together producing a delicious and tasty smoothie that’s packed full of nutrients –  Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie!

Kiwi and Strawberry Smoothie

I am a happy mom because I don’t have much of a problem when it comes to asking my kids to eat their fruits. They love fruits and I don’t even need to ask them, they ask themselves if they want some fruits for snacks.

I try as much as I can to give them better snacks and since they always want something sweet – fruits are always the best options.

Summer or not we always have fruit shakes or smoothies in our house. Before I came to the US, my shake and smothie combinations were very few and mainly included mangoes, bananas, papayas and avocado and occasionally guyabano (sour sop) – all tropical fruits and flavors.

They are all wonderful of course, there’s no doubt. But now that I reside in the US – I have all the berries that are otherwise not available in my native land to turn into wonderful smoothies.  Yay!

I saw some Kiwis the other day in our grocery store and then some lovely strawberries were on sale too. I thought that these two fruits with contrasting colors and texture might result to a great smoothie when blended together.

I added as usual some applesauce to sweeten the smoothie and sort of balance the tartness. I think it worked well for they were gone in seconds when my two tots got a hold of them! That’s what I call success! Enjoy!

Ingredients 

2-3 Kiwi fruits, peeled and chopped

1 to 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries (chopped)*

1 cup Applesauce

1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Honey or Brown sugar, about 2 Tablespoons or to taste

Procedure

Place all the ingredients in a blender. Process till smooth. Pour into glasses or jars and serve immediately.  Enjoy.

*Note: I pre-cut the strawberries because they are frozen and it’s more difficult to blend/purée them when they are whole. I usually place them on the bottom of the blender to make it easier. Pulse until the strawberries are all broken down and smooth and then process as usual. Enjoy!

    We have smoothies all the time at our house too.. I freeze my own berries and also fruit that doesn't get eaten.. I do even buy some to freeze. I never have thought of using apple sauce in my smoothies but will give it a try. I use condensed milk as my sweetener and orange juice.

      I used condensed milk too for my mango shake when I was still in the Phils! That sounds yummy Marlys! I have only tried Orange juice once but have to try that again. Thanks for stopping by.
