Kiwi Strawberry Smoothie Benefits
Kiwi Fruit – has a lot of health benefits, it’s rich in vitamins C, K, & A, plus it contains antioxidants that help reduce free radicals. Adding kiwis to your smoothies can improve your eyes, skin, and digestive health.
Strawberries – are also high in vitamin C which is great for reducing oxidative stress, inflammation and excellent for your skin.
Oat Milk – is an excellent alternative to regular milk because it contains a good amount of protein, fatty acids, fiber, and B vitamins.
Greek Yogurt – is packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics. The high amount of protein helps keep you feeling full longer during the day.
Calcium in Greek yogurt is great for bone health and probiotics help balance the gut microbiome.

Storage & Variations
It is usually best to drink your smoothies right away. However, in the freezer, you can store this strawberry smoothie in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Optionally, you can make this into kiwi strawberry popsicles and enjoy them on hot summer days. If you make popsicles, wrap them up or transfer them to freezer bags once they are frozen.
Variations
Your choices are endless when it comes to Kiwi smoothies. You can add bananas, spinach, avocado, chia seeds, nuts, and nut butter to this kiwi strawberry smoothie.
Use any yogurt you choose but make sure to not use fruit or sweetened yogurt cause it will increase your sugar intake.
Try stevia, agave syrup, or even date syrup for sweeteners. I don’t really add sweeteners to fruit smoothies though. Finally, you can add a tsp of vanilla extract.
