Why We’re Crushing on Kiwi Fruit

If there’s one fruit that deserves a serious moment in your smoothie rotation, it’s the humble kiwi. Small, fuzzy, and packed with a whole lot of goodness, this vibrant green fruit is more than just a tangy addition to your breakfast bowl - it’s a nutritional powerhouse with serious health benefits.

Let’s get into why we love kiwi fruit and how it can give your blends a boost:

1. Hello, Vitamin C

Kiwi is bursting with vitamin C - even more than oranges! Just one medium kiwi can provide over 100% of your daily recommended intake. That means better immune function, faster healing, and a little glow-up for your skin, all from one green gem.

2. Fibre Goals

If gut health is your jam, kiwi’s got your back. It's rich in both soluble and insoluble fibre, helping to keep your digestion running smoothly. Bonus: fibre keeps you feeling fuller for longer, which is perfect if you’re blending with wellness in mind.

3. Antioxidant Overachiever

Kiwi fruit is loaded with antioxidants like vitamin E and polyphenols that help fight oxidative stress and inflammation. In short? They’re like tiny warriors helping your body stay balanced and healthy from the inside out.

4. Natural Enzymes for Digestion

Ever heard of actinidin? It’s a natural enzyme found in kiwi that helps break down proteins - ideal for post-workout smoothies with a scoop of protein powder or a collagen boost.

5. Low Cal, High Impact

Kiwi keeps it light with just around 40 calories per fruit. So you get all that flavour and nutrition without tipping the scales. Win-win.

How to Blend/Juice It

Kiwi plays nice with loads of smoothie buddies. Here are a few combos to get you started:

• King Kiwi 

• Kiwi Punch

• Kiwi Lime Popsicles

• Watermelon Kiwi Nectar

Just toss everything into your nutribullet, blend it up, and sip your way to better health.
