K is for Kiwi, no doubt. It is also for Key Lime which I didn’t feel like working with. So Kiwi it was. We went for a Kiwi Tropical Smoothie loaded with great tropical fruit and of course Kiwi!
Kiwi Tropical Smoothie
I did have a moment of thinking I’d do some kind of post about the kitchen – maybe cool kitchen designs I like. Or maybe my favorite gadgets in the kitchen. Yeah, I thought that was kinda boring and it was kinda hot this afternoon so smoothie it was. Kiwi Tropical Smoothie to stick with the ‘K’ theme.
I had never made a Kiwi Smoothie before. In fact, I wasn’t sure what would taste good with it, but I knew I wanted it to be very tropical. (Can you tell I’m ready for summer?!) So ready for summer!
Tropical Kiwi Smoothie
I love smoothies and this tropical kiwi smoothie was delicious and refreshing – the perfect way to cool off when life gets too hot.

My kids and I decided to concoct our own tropical smoothie using Kiwi, papaya, bananas and pineapple (juice) and it turned out AMAZING! There is nothing more delicious than this Kiwi Tropical Smoothie!

Wow! I’m ready for summer too. The smoothie looks delicious and I’m sure that coconut milk really made it extra yummy.

Amrita, Summer is so close, yet I can hardly feel it. We have a cold front moving in, so I’m glad I got the smoothie done ahead of time. The coconut milk was AWESOME. Thanks for visiting me! 🙂

Perfect for the summer smoothies 🙂 Just what we need to cool off this heat, I actually have read some other smoothie recipes on the web. I love smoothies!
