Time to raise a glass to your health!
Kiwi fruit is readily available in the UK from January to August. This visually stunning fruit is so good for you. It packs a punch in vitamin C and also contains potassium, vitamin E, vitamin A and plenty of dietary fibre, amongst other nutrients.
It has an intense, and some would say sharp, flavour when scooped straight out of its furry greenish-brown skin. I love it just like that, or mixed in with strawberries and other fruits to make a colourful fruit salad. But today, I’m going to share a few smoothie recipes with you: kiwi and strawberry smoothie, creamy kiwi smoothie (pictured) and sherbet zest kiwi smoothie.
These smoothies will make a wonderful dessert or a healthy mid-afternoon filler. So let’s toast your health together in celebration of the wonderful kiwi fruit! (For a different type of fruit smoothie, try this Indian lassi with cardamom and pistachios.)

I really like these ideas! I often buy smoothies from restaurants, but they are so packed with cream and sugar, that I´m not sure they are really that healthy. But these seem like the real deal.
The kiwi and strawberry version seems right up my street.
