Spinach and Kiwi Smoothie| Green Smoothie with Kiwi - I have mentioned already in my last green smoothie post i have tried various green smoothie combinations in a week and posted some of them. This one also i made that week and was waiting to post. Vishu preparations and the celebrations delayed this post. Like the other green smoothies this is also a yummy nutritious smoothie which could be prepared in a jiffy.

PROCEDURE:
- Coarsely powder the almonds with pestle and mortar; or soak them overnight and peel them and directly add them.
- Remove the stalk of the spinach and peel the kiwi and roughly chop them.
- In a blender jar add the spinach, kiwi, banana, powdered almonds, honey, yogurt (if adding), water and ice cubes.
- Blend on high till frothy creamy consistency.
- Note: Adjust the sweetness as per your taste.
- Do not use sour yogurt for this recipe as the kiwi also has the sourness.
- Adding banana is optional but it adds nice creamy texture and sweetness to the smoothie.
I would love to try a smoothie with spinach though I am not able to get myself to do it... hehe... I too love kiwi when it is ripe...
