I love kiwis, I adore strawberries, and I can never get enough bananas. I had to make a smoothie that combined all three, along with some sweet and tangy pineapple to boot. This healthy fruit smoothie is full of goodness, and it looks oh so pretty in pink. Add in some ground chia or flax seeds to get in your daily dose of fiber and omegas (these are just two benefits among a lengthy list of others).
Ingredients:
-6 fresh strawberries, cut into pieces
-1 fresh kiwi, peeled and cut
-1 ripe banana, diced
-1 large slice of fresh pineapple, no rind
-1 tsp of agave
-1/2 cup chunks of ice
-1 cup coconut milk or almond milk
-Optional: ½ tsp of ground chia seeds OR ground flax seeds
Directions:
1. Place all washed and cut fruit into the blender. Drizzle with agave, and sprinkle your chia or flax seeds on top. Pour in the ice, and coconut milk. Blend until a beautiful pink smoothie comes to life, and all chunks seem to be blended. Serve chilled – top with some fresh fruit if desired.
This recipe makes 2 yummy glasses of the Sweet Summer Smoothie (or one giant portion for yourself).
