Key Lime Kiwi Smoothie
Kiwi, fresh lime and pear create this citrusy-sweet green smoothie
Ingredients
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
- 1 lime, peeled
- 4 (280 g) medium kiwis
- 2 (400 g) large pear, halved, seeded
- 6 pitted dates, ¼ cup honey, optional
- 2 cups (260 g) ice cubes
Directions
- With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the lime, leaving just the flesh.
- Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
- Blend for 30 seconds or until desired consistency is reached, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
Chef's Notes
Try adding 1 cup (30g) of kale or spinach to this smoothie through the lid plug opening while blending for an extra nutrient, color and texture boost.

Very flavourful. Used apple instead of pear and it still tasted wonderful.

Really good!
Didn’t have a lime so I used a quarter of a lemon. Also used two pears instead of one. Very good!

Delicious!
The pear and kiwi were sweet enough that I didn't need to add the dates!
