A refreshing beverages packed with both taste and nutrition, few have the vibrant allure of a refreshing kiwi juice. Kiwis are bursting with tangy sweetness and a hint of tartness. This emerald elixir offers a multitude of health benefits while tantalising the taste buds. Lets face it we all have brought kiwis for a dish, forgotten about them and ended up throwing them out.
Kiwi, known scientifically as Actinidia deliciosa, originates from the lush landscapes of New Zealand. It has earned its moniker from the country’s iconic flightless bird. Renowned for its high vitamin C content, a single kiwi fruit can provide more than the recommended daily intake. In turn this bolsters the immune system and promoting radiant skin.
Beyond its vitamin C prowess, kiwi is also rich in antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols. Both of which help combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Moreover, its impressive fibre content aids digestion and promotes gut health, keeping the digestive system in optimal condition.
The versatility of kiwi juice extends beyond its standalone allure; it serves as a canvas for creative concoctions. Blend it with other fruits like strawberries and bananas for a tropical twist or combine it with spinach and kale for a revitalising green juice. For a creamy indulgence, add a splash of coconut milk or yoghurt to create a velvety smoothie.
To enhance its nutritional profile further, consider incorporating complementary ingredients such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, or even a dash of ginger for an added zing. These additions not only elevate the flavour but also contribute additional nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and anti-inflammatory properties.
Incorporating a refreshing kiwi juice into your daily routine offers a delicious and convenient way to reap its myriad benefits. Whether enjoyed as a morning pick-me-up, a post-workout refresher, or a vibrant addition to your culinary repertoire, this zesty elixir promises to invigorate both body and soul.
In conclusion, kiwi juice stands as a testament to nature’s bounty, offering a symphony of flavour and nutrition in every sip. With its abundance of vitamins, antioxidants, and fibre, coupled with its versatility in blending with other ingredients, it emerges as a refreshing staple for those seeking both health and indulgence in their beverage choices.

Saw this in a book ages ago and then this recipe appeared on my feed. Really refreshing and thirst quenching.
Gave it a go and didn’t like it. However my hubby loves it so will be making more lol
I drink most juices but never had this one. The flavour is surprisingly refreshing and I will be making again. Definitely need to blend well.
Brought one in a supermarket ages ago and loved it but didn
My daughter saw this online and asked me to make it. Buying more kiwis now. Lovely taste and surprisingly filling.
Was not expecting this to be so good but it was.
Surprisngly lovely. Make sure you blitz it really well as I found it a bit grainy but reblitz and problem sorted.
I hate waste and was given kiwis in a fruit basket while in hospital. Now I have something use them for.
Kiwi and banana might sound like an unusual combo, but trust me, it works! This juice drink is a lovely twist on your typical fruit juice.
Can’t stand kiwis but the juice of kiwis is a different matter. Lovely and refreshing especially with crushed ice.
Ran out of orange juice so gave it a try. Totally works and love the banana in it.
Gave it a try with some “spare” kiwis. Now have a use for them. The colour is a bit strange but the flavour is lovely. The banana gives it a bit of body for a smoothie time.
Being a health freak I thought I would give this a go. After a workout, it gave me a much needed boost.
My sister was trying this and I had some. Ordered kiwis in this weeks shopping.
Makes a lovely change from OJ or pineapple.
When ever I buy these they are always the last to be used or worse still thrown away. Not any more. Going to try the with other fruits as well.
My new favourite smoothie. Lovely taste and makes a change fomr the usual morning drinks.
So easy to make and I proved to hubby that kiwis are not just birds! Drink was lovely, I added ice cubes for the chill.
Need to make sure the kiwi fruit is fully blitzed. Once that
Very refreshing and the smell of banana made it perfect.
My new go to refreshing guilt free drink. Full of Vitamin C and Potassium.
Forgot to include them oin the fruit dessert last night and then found this recipe.
