Kiwi Smoothies are so good!
Kiwis don’t get enough credit when it comes to smoothies. I use them a lot, especially when they’re fully ripe and sweet, but they can be really tart if you catch them too early. If you’re into sour smoothies, an underripe kiwi actually works. But if not, definitely wait until it softens up a bit.
This kiwi smoothie is super simple. I blend it with mango, spinach, coconut milk, and a little maple syrup to balance it out.
Happy Cooking!

Mango Kiwi Smoothie Ingredients
- Kiwis: Ripe kiwis are sweeter and less acidic. If you want more tartness, you can use underripe ones, but the flavor will be sharper.
- Spinach: Baby spinach blends smoother and has a milder flavor than regular spinach.
- Frozen mango: Adds natural sweetness and makes the smoothie cold and thick without ice.
- Coconut milk: Use canned for a richer smoothie or carton-style for something lighter.
- Lime juice: Can skip or adjust depending on the ripeness of your fruit.
- Maple syrup: Optional. Adjust based on how sweet your fruit is or your preference.

Recipe Variations
- Incorporate nut butter or protein powder. Since the kiwi smoothie recipe is for 2 servings, I recommend 2 tablespoons of nut butter or 2 scoops of protein powder (about 4 tablespoons). As with adding any solids, you may need to add more milk.
- Try other fruits. I like the combination of this smoothie with pineapple, papaya, and/or banana.
Recipe Tips
- Keep the kiwi in its skin. There’s no need to peel the kiwi skin. It’s less work this way, and you get the fiber bonus from the skin. It does add a brownish tint to the smoothie, but I promise it still tastes so good!
- Peel the mango skin. Unlike kiwi skin, the mango skin is not edible. But instead of cutting it off with a knife, I recommend using a vegetable peeler to remove the skin so you don’t lost any yummy mango flesh. Grab my technique and tips for how to cut mango.
- Use cold ingredients. It gives it a thicker texture and tastes more refreshing this way.
- Add ice if necessary. If you find that your smoothie is too thin, add more ice cubes until you get a thickness you like.
