2 kiwis peeled and roughly chopped
1 tbsp fresh lime juice, plus 1/2 tsp finely grated lime zest
0.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1 cup unsweetened almond milk Shop
1 tbsp chia seeds Shop
0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract Shop

0.5 cup ice cubes

Instructions

1 Combine the peeled and chopped kiwis, lime juice and zest, frozen pineapple chunks, unsweetened almond milk, chia seeds, and pure vanilla extract in the pitcher of a high-speed blender. Ensure your almond milk is gluten-free if it has added flavors.
2 Add the optional honey or maple syrup, if desired, for added sweetness. Then, add the ice cubes to the blender pitcher. This combination will create a thick and frosty smoothie.
3 Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed for about 60 to 90 seconds. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and has a creamy, uniform consistency, with no visible chunks of fruit or ice.
4 Carefully taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup if needed. Blend for another 10-15 seconds to incorporate any added sweetener.
5 Pour the vibrant green smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. For a thicker smoothie bowl, use half the amount of almond milk and top with gluten-free granola, fresh fruit, and extra chia seeds.

Tips & Notes

Peel kiwis with a spoon: cut off both ends, then slide the spoon between the skin and the flesh and turn the fruit.
Use ripe kiwis that give slightly when pressed. Firm kiwis are sour and make the smoothie sharp.
Blend just until smooth. Long blending crushes the small black kiwi seeds, which can make the smoothie taste bitter.
