Kiwi Quencher Tropical Smoothie (Copycat Recipe)

Why you'll love this smoothie

• No added sugar: This strawberry kiwi smoothie has plenty of natural sweetness from ripe strawberries and kiwi. 
• Healthy: Greek yogurt is full of protein, calcium, B12, and probiotics for gut health. Both strawberries and kiwi are high in vitamin C and dietary fiber, as well as a host of other nutrients. 
• Easy: It couldn't be easier to whip up this tropical smoothie recipe. All you need is four simple ingredients, 5 minutes, and a blender!
• Customizable: Even though this strawberry kiwi quencher is a copycat recipe, you can still make it your own by adding seeds, different fruits, or milk.

Ingredient notes

• Strawberries: You can use fresh or frozen strawberries. Using frozen fruit makes for a thick and creamy smoothie, so if you use fresh strawberries, you may want to add some ice
• Kiwi: Be sure to use ripe kiwis. If they are unripe they'll be hard and very tart. Either green kiwi or golden kiwis are fine.
• Plain Greek Yogurt: Either full fat or low-fat greek yogurt are great for adding creamy texture. Greek yogurt is thicker and creamier, with less sugar and more protein than regular or non-fat yogurt.
• Milk: The original kiwi quencher tropical smoothie doesn't contain milk, but our home blenders aren't as powerful and need some liquid to help them. Use any milk: almond milk, oat milk, soy milk, or even whole milk.

Variations and substitutions

• Milk: Replace the milk with coconut water, or fruit juices.
• Protein: Add extra protein with peanut butter or other nut butters. Or add a scoop of protein powder.
• Seeds: I like to add chia seeds, hemp seeds or flax seeds to smoothies for additional protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
• Greens: Add a handful of spinach, kale, or microgreens for even more of a nutrient boost.
• Sweeteners: If you like a sweeter smoothie, or if your fruit isn't quite as ripe as it could be, you can add a small amount of maple syrup, honey or agave syrup.
• Vegan: For a vegan version of this smoothie, use vegan yogurt, coconut cream, or silken tofu. Or use a nut milk or oat milk and add a frozen banana.
