In an effort to enjoy every last kiwi, I created this creamy, coconut-drenched smoothie that's satisfying, laced with fresh lemon and bursting with kiwi flavor.
This smoothie is packed with energy and nutrients. The avocado and coconut milk fill you up with healthy fats (a prerequisite for long-lasting energy); the lemon loads your immune system with vitamin C; the coconut water hydrates; and the kiwis are basically little green vitamin bombs all on their own.
Full of protective antioxidants, rich in fiber and potassium, great for eye health and a tasty source of potassium (think happy heart and healthy blood pressure), kiwis make great snacks ... and, of course, smoothies.
