Why We Love This Kiwi Smoothie Recipe

Our family is big on smoothies, and even bigger on ones that can be blended up in around 5 minutes. This fruit smoothie is super delicious, and everyone in our house loves it, even though I’m the only one trying to lose weight.

Our kids love to blend this up and put it in popsicle molds for some fruity smoothie pops, while I love to simply blend and drink as a quick snack or when I’m craving something sweet.

So whether you are trying to lose weight or not, give this sweet smoothie a try.

Ingredients in Our Simple Kiwi Smoothie for Weight Loss

Kiwi

Kiwi fruit is the star of the show in this smoothie. I love this small green tropical fruit. They add a delicous sweet tangy flavor and also give it the green color that I adore.

Kiwis are high in fiber, Vitamin C, and can even help reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease.

We use fresh ripe kiwi in our recipe. You can freeze them if you find that they are getting overripe and then pop them in the blender if you need to. We tend to eat them before they get to that point.

Banana

Bananas are a smoothie staple in our house. I always have them on hand, and they are perfect for adding some creaminess and sweetness to any smoothie recipe.

They are also high in fiber and potassium, and can help regulate blood sugar levels.

We use frozen banana in most all smoothie recipes because it makes a smoothie so, so creamy that way. If you use fresh banana, you might want to add a couple more ice cubes.

Pear

Pears add a lovely sweetness to this recipe, as well as some extra fiber.

We love using pears in smoothies because they add a natural sweetness and are also high in fiber, which helps to keep us full.

You can use any type of pear that you like. We usually have Bartlett pears on hand, but Bosc or Anjou would work great as well.

Ice Cubes

Ice cubes help to make this smoothie nice and thick and cold. We love our smoothies thick, but if you prefer yours thinner, you can add less ice or not use it at all.

Water

The water helps to thin out the smoothie a bit so that it’s not too thick. You can always add more or less water to get the consistency that you like.

Use a good quality filtered water for best taste, whether that comes from your fridge, a bottle or even just your tap. We got a whole house filter when we found out we had hard water in the area and it made a huge difference (in both taste of water and our skin and hair in the shower!).

How to Make Our Quick and Easy Kiwi Smoothie for Weight Loss

Smoothies are wonderfully easy to make! Just add all of your ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.

For this recipe we add the kiwis, banana, pear, ice cubes and water to our blender. We like our smoothies on the thick side, so we don’t add too much water.

You can always add more if you find it’s too thick for your liking.

Blend everything up until it’s smooth and enjoy right away!

This recipe makes two small or one large smoothie. If you are making it for weight loss, enjoy one now and save the other for later.

If you’re not trying to lose weight, feel free to enjoy both!

How to Customize This Healthy Smoothie Recipe

Add protein: If you want to make this smoothie a bit more filling, you can add in some protein powder, a scoop of nut butter (almond or peanut butter work well) or even some cooked quinoa. This will help tide you over if you are using this as a meal replacement smoothie. I’d suggest vanilla or unflavored protein powder if you are using it.

Change the liquid: If you want it even creamier, you can use coconut water, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk or another non-dairy milk in place of the water, or even regular dairy milk. We tend to all do dairy free since we have one kiddo with a dairy allergy.

Add greens: If you want to pack in even more nutrients, you can add some leafy greens to this smoothie. We love adding spinach or kale. You won’t taste them at all, I promise, especially fresh spinach! This is our favorite smoothie customization – we always have raw spinach, kale, or swiss chard in the fridge or freezer (usually both haha!).

Make it sweeter: If you find that this recipe isn’t sweet enough for your liking, you can add a bit more banana or pear, or even a date or two. You can also add some honey, agave nectar or maple syrup.

Make it thicker: If you want your smoothie to be even thicker, you can add more banana, use less liquid or add some chia seeds or Greek yogurt. Chia seed is great for thickening smoothies and they also add some extra protein and fiber.
