Notes
Speedy kiwi prep: Use a kiwi tool to remove the kiwi from the skin and make pieces with ease. If you don't have one, use a sharp knife to peel the kiwi and chop it up.
Layered smoothie tip: To make a 2 (or more) colored smoothie, use any fruit and ingredients you want but make sure you pour the thicker mixture into the glass first so the slightly thinner mixture floats on top. Drink from the top and you can enjoy the top layer first. Or use a straw and sip the bottom layer first.
Use a good quality blender: Before you even start making this smoothie with coconut, ensure your blender is up to the job. Not every blender is equipped to handle hard ingredients like nuts, ice or frozen fruit.
