- a few spinach leaves according to taste.
Recipe:

Kiwi varieties
- The most common kiwi variety is Hayward. Its fruits reach the size of a chicken egg, and their terry peel has a green-brown color. The pulp of this variety is green with neat, even rows of dark edible grains. Ripe Hayward has a sweet, slightly sour taste, while unripe Hayward has a sour taste.
- Monti is a mid-season kiwi variety. Its skin is light brown in color with medium-length fibers. Montys are pear-shaped and come in medium and large sizes. Their flesh is green-yellow in color, and the taste is suitable for the amateur.
- An early ripening kiwi variety - Bruno. The bushes bloom for only 10 days, and the fruits ripen by mid-December. Bruno's shape is cylindrical, the peel is red-brown with short fibers, and the flesh is green. This variety tastes slightly sugary.
- In addition to the above, kiwi varieties such as Abot, Matua, Tumori, Jenny and others are very popular. Today, more than 30 varieties of kiwi are known.
Kiwi and apple smoothie
A refreshing, pleasant-smelling drink fills the body with vitamins and minerals.
To prepare it you need:
- medium-sized sweet apple;
- 3 fruits of Chinese actinidia;
- young mint branch;
- half a glass of crushed ice.
Prepare the smoothie as follows:
- Chop the washed and peeled fruits and place them in a blender.
- Add ice there and throw in mint leaves torn from the branch.
- Swirl the contents until it turns into a homogeneous mass.
Kiwi + kefir
Kiwi goes well with fermented milk products. Using them as a basis, you can create delicious and healthy desserts. Kefir of any fat content is suitable for the recipe; the lower the percentage, the more dietary the drink will be .
Sweetness depends on the variety of kiwi and its ripeness. For example, yellow (or golden) fruits are sweeter than the usual green ones. Unripe fruit will make the smoothie sour, which means you will need more sweetener than the recipe calls for. Honey should be added at the end to achieve the desired taste.
For one serving of the basic drink you will need:
- 1 kiwi;
- 200 ml kefir;
- 1 tsp. honey
Grind the peeled, chopped fruit into a paste in a blender, add honey, pour in kefir, and beat until smooth. Wipe the edges of the glass with a slice of lemon, dip in powdered sugar, and shake lightly. You will get a nice decorative border. All that remains is to pour the drink without touching the powder with the stream.
You can supplement the main recipe with citrus fruits:
- peeled lemon slice, a few fresh mint leaves (in this case, you may have to use a little more honey);
- 1 medium-sized orange, peeled (here you can slightly reduce the amount of kefir, 150 ml is enough).
Smoothie with avocado and kiwi
The drink has an interesting taste, which makes it difficult to recognize the ingredient composition. The cocktail is not dessert-like; there is almost no sweetness in it. But this is a wonderful hearty afternoon snack.
Ingredients:
- one ripe avocado;
- 3 kiwi fruits;
- 300 ml of kefir or natural yogurt without flavoring, for example, Greek.
Wash the fruits, remove the peel. Place all ingredients in a blender and beat well.
This cocktail is usually eaten with a spoon. But you can drink through a large diameter straw.
Kiwi liqueur with alcohol and white wine
The main disadvantage of kiwi is its dull aroma. We can cope with this problem with the help of two ingredients - lime zest (even the color of it just begs to be added to our drink) and a very tiny addition of cardamom.
- 7-8 medium kiwis;
- 0.5 liters of alcohol 70°;
- 300 ml water;
- 100 grams of sugar;
- half a medium lime;
- cardamom - literally a third of the box.
Alcohol is optimal for preparing this drink, since it better extracts flavor and aromatic compounds from the fruit pulp; water is used here only for making syrup. But in a pinch, you can use vodka and just melt the sugar in the tincture after cooking.
- Peel the kiwi and cut into slices about 0.5 cm thick, and see how it goes. Carefully cut off the zest from the lime, only the green one is needed, the rest is thrown away. Place the kiwi and zest in a jar, add cardamom, pour alcohol over everything, close tightly and set aside in a dark, warm place.
- After a week or a week and a half, the tincture must be carefully drained before it becomes discolored. Fruits that have been saturated with alcohol will have to be thrown away - if you try to squeeze them out, so much turbidity will get into the drink that it will then be impossible to filter it. We pass the drained liquid through cotton wool or a paper towel as many times as necessary - until complete or at least relative transparency.
- The color of the tincture at this stage, unfortunately, is not green, but brownish-yellow, this is normal. If you want to satisfy your inner perfectionist and achieve a bright emerald color, it’s not a sin to use green food coloring; there’s nothing particularly scary about it.
- Make syrup from all the water and sugar, cool and add little by little to the liqueur until it becomes as sweet as you want. After this, the drink must be left to stand again for at least 2-3 weeks in a dark, cool place. If during this time it gives sediment again, filter it again.
That’s it, we’ve made a delicious tincture with alcohol from kiwi with lime and cardamom - drink it well chilled, in small sips, enjoying the intense aroma and interesting taste with a slightly “nod” sourness!
This recipe also uses citrus fruits - this time the juice and zest of more accessible lemons, and cinnamon is used as a flavor enhancer. The drink is macerated in alcohol, then diluted with wine and aged. White wine will not overpower the delicate taste of kiwi, but will give the drink the missing velvety quality and enhance the aroma.
- kiwi – 1 kg;
- alcohol 60% – 0.7 l;
- good dry white wine - bottle;
- sugar (preferably cane) – 100 g;
- cinnamon sticks – 3 cm long piece;
- half a lemon.
Strawberry and kiwi smoothie
To make a vitamin drink, prepare:
- one fruit of “Chinese gooseberry”;
- 5 large and well-ripened strawberries;
- a few spinach leaves;
- 50 ml boiled water.
Prepare the smoothie like this:
- Peel the fruits and chop into small pieces.
- Place the slices and spinach leaves into a blender, pour in the cooled water.
- Beat until the mixture reaches a homogeneous consistency.
- Pour into a cocktail glass.
Golden smoothie
Have you tried yellow kiwi yet? Golden kiwi (kiwi gold) looks almost the same as green, but not as “shaggy”. The pulp is yellow. It tastes much sweeter! The ripe ones don’t have a drop of sourness at all! Smoothies with this variety of kiwi can be prepared without any sweeteners at all. Recipes with citrus fruits are very good.
KBJU per 100 g: 51.8/0.9/0.5/11

Kiwi smoothie is a delicious and healthy cocktail that is great for helping you lose weight. You don't even have to follow any diet to do this. I simply replaced dinner with a drink, and tried to make a cocktail each time from kiwi and various additional ingredients. As a result, in 2 weeks of this diet plan, I was able to lose about 4 kg. If you eat right and exercise, the effect will be much better.

A cocktail of kefir and kiwi will make your stomach flat in just a week, especially if you drink it before bed and follow a diet. The smoothie is quite filling, you don’t want to eat after it.

But after a while, my stomach began to hurt frequently, and the doctor said that kiwi is aggressive to the stomach and can cause gastritis if not used in moderation.

How to drink the cocktail?
Smoothies should be consumed fresh and in the first half of the day.
A kiwi smoothie is a complete snack that will keep you feeling full for a long time. In order for the weight loss effect to be quick and most effective, it is recommended to drink the cocktail in the morning (instead of breakfast) or in the evening (replacing dinner).
The benefits of a morning cocktail are that kiwi improves your mood, nourishes the body with energy and tones, and the boost of energy after such a breakfast will last for the whole day. Another advantage of replacing breakfast with a smoothie is a long-term lack of hunger and the ability to reduce the volume of subsequent portions of food. And this has a positive effect on the process of losing weight.
If you drink a smoothie instead of dinner, it will help ease the digestion process and promote accelerated elimination of toxic substances. When following a strict diet, severe hunger is especially often felt in the evening, and the cocktail satisfies well and relieves hunger, and you don’t have to be afraid of extra pounds appearing.
It is recommended not to drink the smoothie, but to chew it like liquid porridge, so that the body is better satisfied with the tasty and healthy dish.

Making this cocktail is as easy as shelling pears, and it looks beautiful and interesting; it can be a wonderful sweet treat for a children's party or a beach holiday.
To make a smoothie, prepare:
- one large and well-ripened mango;
- 5 pieces of kiwi;
- granulated sugar (optional ingredient only if the fruit is sour).
Recipe:
- Wash and peel the fruits.
- First, blend the kiwi in a blender. Add sweetener if necessary.

Rules for making smoothies
In order for a fruit-based drink to bring maximum benefits to the body and help get rid of excess weight, when preparing a smoothie at home, you must follow a number of rules and recommendations:
Smoothie ingredients must match each other
- It is strictly forbidden to add alcohol or other drinks containing ethanol to a smoothie or cocktail, even in minimal quantities. Alcohol will increase your appetite.
- All ingredients must be fresh, so the drink is prepared from seasonal fruits. Only in extreme cases can you use frozen berries.
- You need to buy kiwis unpeeled. The peel on fruit is a protective barrier, the presence of which for a long time allows you to preserve all its beneficial substances in the product.
- It is important to be careful when choosing a product. The fruit should not be hard, but not too soft. The high acidity of unripe fruit can negatively affect the condition of the gastric mucosa. If the fruit is too soft, then it is overripe and may have begun to spoil. Eating this fruit can lead to poisoning.
- Sugar should not be added to the drink. If the cocktail seems too sour, you can add a little honey or syrup. But it is best if the cocktail is consumed without any sweeteners.
- Fruits must be chopped immediately before preparing the cocktail.
- The drink should be drunk immediately after preparation. A smoothie should never be prepared in reserve, even if it is planned to be consumed in a few hours. During this time, the cocktail will lose all its properties.
- Kiwi, like other fruits, is not recommended to be cut with a knife with a metal blade. Upon contact with iron, the pulp begins to oxidize, vitamins, macro- and microelements are quickly destroyed. Such a drink will not be useful.
During the diet, it is recommended to use various cocktail recipes to diversify the menu and saturate the body with all kinds of minerals and vitamins.

What are the benefits of smoothies?
The exotic name “smoothies” hides ordinary cocktails based on fruits, vegetables, herbs or berries passed through a blender. They can be either fresh or frozen. The former are, of course, preferable.
Smoothies have no restrictions. To prepare them, you can use any fruits and vegetables, combining them with each other in any proportions and getting a new taste each time.
Additional ingredients usually include: water, ice, milk, honey, syrup, yogurt, kefir, herbs, nuts, spices, seeds, such as flax, pumpkin or chia. Unlike juices, smoothies have a thick, uniform consistency. Thanks to the large amount of fiber, they provide a longer feeling of fullness.
The benefits of smoothies for weight loss are undeniable. They are low in calories, easy to digest and contain no unhealthy fats. Drinking a smoothie can:
- fully satisfy the body's need for calories;
- speed up digestion and metabolism;
- start the fat burning process;
- remove toxins;
- strengthen the immune system.
Nutritionists advise switching to a smoothie diet gradually. Otherwise, instead of benefiting, the drink will cause harm. To start, replace your usual breakfast and dinner with smoothies, and leave snacks and lunch as “solid” ones. In this case, the fat burning process will not be so rapid, but this will minimize the risk of a so-called breakdown.
Kiwi and lemon smoothie
Citrus fruits make smoothies incredibly healthy.
