This great beverage has a wonderful ingredient that is a staple to summer fruits: kiwi. It has a sweet, full flavor and if bought ripe, can last in the refrigerator for up to ten days. Unripe, it can last for about a month. With that kind of longevity, the opportunity to make this drink can happen at any time! Kiwi is fabulous when paired with the other fruits in the recipe, including: mangoes, oranges, and strawberries. All the elements combined together lend to an intense kiwi experience. Be careful when putting it through the juicer or even pureeing it, if a kiwi is over-processed the seeds can break and cause a bitterness that is best left avoided.
Try out this thirst quenching drink the next time cooling off seems impossible. Not only is it delicious and refreshing, but also completely healthy!
