Summer is the time when fruits and berries are plentiful. Today I am partnering with Zespri Kiwifruit to share four different ways that you can enjoy their delicious SunGold Kiwifruit. What is a SunGold Kiwifruit you ask? Well it is just like a green kiwifruit but different… 🙂
SunGold Kiwifruit contain more than three times the amount of Vitamin C found in oranges and they contain as much potassium as a banana. Did I mention they are totally yummy?!?
The SunGold Kiwifruit is sweeter than a green kiwifruit and tastes like a cross between a mango & a strawberry.
Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit are different from green kiwifruit. I have photographed them side by side here, so you can see the difference on the outside and on the inside of the kiwifruit. I love trying new fruits that I find at the market. These don’t disappoint! Look for Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit at your local supermarket from May to October.
The Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit has a smooth, hairless skin and juicy yellow flesh.
Two kiwifruit contain about the same amount of fibre as a bowl of bran flakes.
4 Tasty Ways to Enjoy a Kiwifruit:
#1 Cut. Scoop. Enjoy!
The easiest way to eat is a kiwifruit is in the skin. You simply cut it in half and scoop it out with a spoon. I have been eating a kiwifruit this way since I was pre-school age. My mom used to pack a cut kiwifruit in my lunch with a spoon. Everyone in my class was always intrigued. 🙂
#2 Kiwi Coconut Chia Popsicles
These have a sweet coconut kiwi taste but with the benefits of the added chia. Yumma!!
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 Cups coconut milk
- 3/4 Cup soy milk
- 3/4 Cup chia seeds
- 1 Tablespoon agave syrup
- 3 SunGold Kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
Directions:
- Mix together coconut milk, soy milk, chia seeds, and agave syrup. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes for chia seeds to expand.
- Place sliced kiwifruit in mold. Press kiwifruit to the sides of the popsicle mold.
- Pour liquid mixture into popsicle molds slowly and gently. Freeze until popsicles are solid.
#3 Kiwi Ricotta Snack Crackers
These kiwi ricotta snack crackers are perfect as an appetizer or an anytime snack. Not a cracker fan? I love ricotta with a touch of honey in a bowl with cut kiwi on top. It is delicious!
Ingredients:
- Wasa crackers
- 1 Cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 2 SunGold Kiwifruit, peeled and sliced
- Pumpkin seeds
Directions:
- Mix together the ricotta cheese and honey. Spread over crackers.
- Place sliced kiwifruit on top of the cracker and cheese mixture.
- Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and enjoy.
#4 Fruit Bowl in a Pineapple Boat
This is just what you need to get the party started. I don’t think you will find anyone that won’t smile when given a fruit bowl served like this. 🙂
Ingredients:
- 1 Pineapple
- Berries and other favourite fruit
- 1 SunGold Kiwifruit, cut and sliced
Directions:
- Cut the top 1/4 off of a pineapple. Using a small, sharp knife, cut around the inside of the pineapple.
- With the knife slice the center of the pineapple so easier to remove. Use a spoon to scoop out the pineapple center.
- Wash fruit, berries and prepare kiwifruit. Place in pineapple boat and enjoy.

This is a brilliant post on different ways to eat Kiwis. I have tasted the fruit before as part of cakes . In India Kiwis are exotic fruits so I dont get to taste them quite often.
Thank you!
I would love to try the Kiwi Ice Cream. This are really excellent alternatives though kiwi can be delicious on its own.
It is so good!!

I’ve not seen yellow kiwifruit to date. but I will keep my eye out for them. They look very pretty next to the green ones, as well as the other fruit in your recipes. Can’t wait to try them on a cracker!

What a super neat way to change up kiwi, I have always just eaten it as is. Love the idea of making it into pops!
Thank you so much Brandy!
Have to check if i could find them at my local super market. Popsickles would be so great at the moment when the temperature is keeping rising.
They are usually at farmers markets or fruit and vegetable stores and I know I feel ya!

Thank you so much Cara!
All of those tasty treats look AMAZING! I need to go make one.

I absolutely love Kiwi! I think it might be one of my favorite fruits! I want to try everything that you mentioned above those Popsicles in the granola bar look especially delicious.
Thank you, it is all so easy to make and it is so yummy!! cant wait for you to try everything.
Yummy! We picked up a couple of the golden ones by accident before and I totally agree they are just as sweet as a strawberry. My kids eat them skin and all. Not sure how they handle the fuzz but it doesn’t seem to bother them at all. The ice pops look delicious!
I dont think I could eat the skin but I love the yellow ones way more then the green for sure!
These all look incredible! I’ve never tried eating a kiwi right out of the skin. I am so trying that! It’s one of my favorite fruits. 🙂
Thank you Julie!
Sounds so good!
