This Green Apple Kiwi Smoothie is tart, bright, and crisp in the best way. Green apple brings a juicy snap, kiwi adds sunny tang, spinach blends in smoothly, and strawberries soften everything with a little berry sweetness. It is a simple green smoothie that feels fresh and light, making it a happy pick for a clean morning routine without feeling complicated or overly earthy.
Ingredients
- 1 medium green apple, cored and chopped
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled
- 1 cup fresh spinach, loosely packed
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 3/4 cup cold water or unsweetened apple juice
- 1/2 cup ice, optional
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
How To Make It
Add the chopped green apple, peeled kiwis, spinach, frozen strawberries, chia seeds, and cold water or apple juice to a blender. If you want a frostier smoothie, add the ice too.
Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds, or until the smoothie is creamy and the spinach is fully blended. If the mixture is too thick, pour in a splash more water or juice and blend again.
Taste before serving. If your apple or kiwis are extra tart, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup and blend for a few more seconds. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy right away while it is cold, bright, and fresh.
This recipe makes one generous smoothie or two smaller servings. It is great for a quick breakfast add-on, an afternoon refresh, or a colorful drink to pair with toast, yogurt, or a simple snack plate.
Tips
Use a crisp green apple, such as Granny Smith, for the boldest tart flavor. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, choose a Golden Delicious apple or use unsweetened apple juice as the liquid.
Frozen strawberries help chill and thicken the smoothie without needing much ice. Fresh strawberries work too, but the texture will be thinner.
For the smoothest blend, add the liquid first, then spinach, fruit, chia seeds, and ice on top. This helps the blender pull everything down evenly.
Let the smoothie sit for 3 to 5 minutes if you like a slightly thicker texture. The chia seeds will absorb some liquid and give the drink a more satisfying sip.
Blend it up and enjoy a bright, fresh start!
