Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 5 kiwi ripe
  • ½ cup cold water

Instructions

  • Wash the kiwi under cold water.
    For a sweeter, brighter green colored juice, peel the kiwis. If you care more about the extra nutrients and don't mind a duller green color, keep the peel on. Yes, the peel is edible!
  • Without peel: Use a knife or vegetable peeler to carefully remove the peel. Alternatively, slice the kiwi in half and scoop out the kiwi flesh with a spoon.
  • With peel: Use a scrubbing brush or abrasive sponge while washing to remove the "hairs". Cut off the hard stem on top and the bottom of the kiwi.

With a blender:

  • Add the kiwi and water to a blender and process for 30-45 seconds. Be careful not to over blend or you may break up the tiny black seeds too much. You can also use an immersion blender or food processor.
  • Enjoy fresh as-is or strain it for a smoother juice. Use a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag over a large bowl to extract the juice from the pulp.

With a juicer:

  • To juice, first slice the kiwi into pieces to fit through your juicer chute. Peel the skin off if desired. This is a great time to add in other favorite fruits and vegetables that pair well with kiwis like strawberries, apples, and cucumber.
  • Pour your fresh juice into a glass full of ice and enjoy!

Notes

  • If your kiwi juice is too tart, feel free to add a liquid sweetener. A little maple or agave syrup can help to balance it out. Add it directly to the blender or if using a juicer, stir it into the finished juice.
  • Best enjoyed within 24 hours, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
  • To freeze the juice: Simply pour into ice cube trays and allow to freeze solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe container. When ready to use, thaw the kiwi ice cubes in the fridge for pure kiwi juice, or add it frozen to smoothies.
