Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie Recipe
Smoothies are delightfully healthy foods when done right. When you purchase them at an overpriced smoothie shop, they’re often full of low-quality ingredients and a lot of added sugar, but why bother buying these drinks when you can make your own? Take my homemade strawberry kiwi smoothie recipe, for example.
Trust me — this recipe is quick and easy to whip up, and it’s loaded with beneficial ingredients sure to up your nutrient intake while satisfying that sweet tooth.
Key Ingredients
This delicious and refreshing strawberry kiwi smoothie is one of my favorites.
Thanks to the kiwi, it’s chock-full of vitamin C. If you thought oranges were good, wait until you try kiwis: These fuzzy little fruits have 275 percent of your daily recommended allowance of the nutrient.
That’s not all. Kiwi nutrition provides vitamins K and E, along with potassium, copper and folate. As such, this fruit can help counteract signs of aging and support skin, eye, digestive, cardiovascular, bone, immune and respiratory health.
When you combine kiwis with nutrition-rich strawberries, which are packed with antioxidants, along with some banana and raw yogurt, you get an easy-to-make, fruity smoothie you can enjoy as a yummy breakfast, post-workout snack or just an after-dinner treat.
Strawberry nutrition is high vitamins C, K and B6. It also provides a good amount of minerals, including manganese, folate, potassium, magnesium and more. Strawberries have been shown to help protect against cancer, heart disease, skin damage, cognitive decline and digestive issues.
The final fruit star in this strawberry banana kiwi smoothie is, of course, banana. Banana nutrition is, of course, loaded in potassium, along with several other essential nutrients.
That’s why bananas can help boost energy, improve digestion, enhance mood, and support heart and kidney health.
How to Make a Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie
Add all the ingredients to the blender. You can use fresh ingredients if you can find them, but the good thing about this strawberry kiwi smoothie is that it works equally well with frozen ingredients for those cooler months.
Blend it all up until you reach a smooth texture and serve. You can garnish with some fresh basil or mint leaves to jazz this smoothie up.
To give your smoothie an extra nutritional boost, add a scoop of green vegetable powder. Enjoy!

What if you don’t have yogurt can you use milk
If you use milk, I recommend almond or coconut milk. Also, be sure to add ice to thicken the smoothie.
Dr. Axe: If you want to make this smoothie in a fix and do not have organic yogurt, is milk kefir a worthy substitute even if it has a more liquid consistency?
Hi Dr. Axe, I purchase lots of your healthy supplements that I love, the only one I have difficulty is the new Bone Broth Protein (plain) every time I mix it in my smoothies, it tastes sour! What do you suggest? I love the Collagen and the Healing Protein, also Green Superfood. My favorite is Collagen Protein since I use it I get so many compliments how beautiful my skin looks, I want to thank you for that :-) I’m 66 years old and still run 4 times a week (3 to 6 miles) every time and bike 9 or 10 miles the other days. Always training for a half-marathon 4 times a year trying to stay healthy and strong, thanks for helping me :-)
