Zespri Kiwi Amazing Challenge: My Weekend Romance with a Smoothie!

Mood for Love Smoothie!

Someone asked me now that I have gone Green, power up with Yellow, is Red next? For me, red can only mean one obvious thing… love! On my Day 13 Zespri Kiwi Amazing Challenge, I can feel the love… the love for my body and my skin. After so many days of eating kiwi, I must confess to loving the fruit and my body. Each day, I feel really good as my appetite seems to be well control, no cravings, digestion problem almost gone as I have been having great input and output…lol!

  

Since it’s the Saturday today, I feel in the Mood for Love and so I came out with this recipe…

Bringing out the inner me for a little Mood for Love Smoothie:

2 Zespri Kiwi (either green or yellow)

½ half a Dragonfruit

150ml Tomato Juice

Scooped out the flesh of the kiwis put into a blender. Pour in the tomato juice. Blend it all the way for a good 30 seconds.

When it reaches a smooth consistency like this, stop the blender and taste. If you like it sweeter, add honey. I didn’t think it needed it.

One or two love servings… set the mood for love today!

Zespri Kiwi Amazing Challenge: Power Up with Green Goddess!

Green Goddess Smoothie!

A week into my Zespri Kiwi Amazing Challenge, I decided to pump up my weekend mornings with smoothies! Its fun to make smoothies as there is simply no rules to the drink, just decide what you love and whizz it up. Since I was on a kiwi challenge, I decided to test out several smoothies with the fruit. Raiding my fridge, I came up with a Green Goddess Smoothie (ahem, that’s what I am gonna name this concoction to bring out the goddess in me while enjoying this, wink!!)

Going green all the way, there are only four ingredients in my Green Goddess Smoothie:

2 green Zespri Kiwi

1 ripe Avocado

1 Japanese Cucumber

100ml Yoghurt drink (you can use the drink or the regular yoghurt)

Scooped out the flesh of the kiwis and avocado and put into a blender. Roughly remove some skin on the cucumber and chopped it up. Pour in the yoghurt and blend it all the way for a good 30 seconds.

When it reaches a smooth consistency like this, stop the blender and taste. If you like it sweeter, add some honey. I didnt need it as the kiwis were really sweet.

Serve up the silky, creamy and tangy Green Goddess Smoothie to power up the rest of your day! Stay tune for my Sunshine Smoothie…

Zespri Kiwi Amazing Challenge: Here’s to 14-Day Daily Scoop of Kiwi Fun!

 

Kiwi-Awesomeness!

Taking on this Zespri Amazing Challenge is gonna be a breeze! Especially since I love kiwis… green or yellow. When I was approach to take this 14-Day Daily Scoop of Amazing Challenge to consume 2 kiwis a day, it didn’t take much twisting to my arms to say yes!

Kiwis are often neglected and deem on the pricier end for fruits but if you know how much one can benefit from these little brown hairy fruits, you might change your mind.  I have always had a soft spot for juicy kiwis with its soft flesh, crunchy bits of seeds and sourish sweet flavors. Simply easy to consume, I love this versatile fruit in any way I can enjoy it but the best is still in its original form!

Here’s a Nutritious Fact of the Kiwi fruit compared to other ones taken from the Zespri website:

That’s a lot of nutrient stored in this little fruit!

How do you enjoy your Kiwi? I am lazy and love to just scoop it up with a spoon…

I am glad my little one loves this fruit. When he saw my bowl of kiwis for this challenge, he literally grabs the whole bowl and declared that this was his portion! Looks like I am going to have an additional challenge to pry this bowl away from him…

If you love kiwis like me, stay tune for more Zespri kiwi-awesomeness to come!
