Tropical Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit Smoothie

If you closed your eyes, you’d be much more likely to think you’re sipping a piña colada than a spinach and SunGold Kiwifruit-packed, bright green smoothie. It’s easy to get into a banana berry smoothie rut, but this recipe makes sure that won’t happen. For a fun tropical flavor, a creamy consistency, and a variety of nutrients, this smoothie combo is definitely one to add to your rotation. Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit tastes like a cross between a strawberry and a mango and is complemented here perfectly by just a touch of fresh pineapple.

If you want to make it more creative, halve and scoop the kiwifruit, saving the skin to use as mini smoothie shooters. Your kids will love them.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup baby spinach
2 Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit, halved and scooped
½ cup cubed pineapple
½ avocado, frozen
1 cup coconut milk

DIRECTIONS
