Green Kiwi Kefir Smoothie
Green Kiwi Kefir Smoothie is a vibrant, creamy, and refreshingly balanced drink. Ripe kiwis bring bright, tangy depth, softened by silky avocado and just enough banana for natural sweetness. Freshly grated ginger adds a gentle warmth that lingers softly on the finish, while lime and mint lift the entire blend with clean, green brightness.
Probiotic-rich kefir creates a smooth, drinkable body, and spinach blends in seamlessly for color and freshness without overpowering the flavor. A spoonful of flaxseed adds subtle nuttiness, and optional matcha offers an earthy undertone for those who enjoy a slightly more complex profile.
The result is lightly sweet, gently tart, and beautifully layered — a refreshing green smoothie that feels both energizing and satisfying. Perfect for an on the go breakfast or afternoon snack.
