To make this copycat Kiwi quencher tropical smoothie start by adding the frozen strawberries to the blender.
Next, add the kiwi to the blender. We are using green kiwi, but you can also use golden kiwis for this tropical smoothie kiwi quencher recipe.
Add the milk to the blender. We are using cashew milk, but you can use any type of milk that you prefer. Coconut milk, almond milk, oat milk, and even whole milk will all work.
Add the maple syrup to the blender. The maple syrup adds a nice touch of natural sweetness that compliments the sweet fruits of the smoothie perfectly. No artificial sweetener is needed in this delicious smoothie.
Lastly, add the coconut yogurt for a nice dose of healthy fats. Coconut yogurt and cashew milk make this a dairy-free smoothie You can use plain Greek yogurt if you prefer.
The frozen fruit and thick coconut yogurt make this a very creamy smoothie.
You can test the thickness to see if it’s too thick or not. We like to add a half cup of ice cubes to the blender at this point. Adding ice or not is a personal choice. The frozen sweet strawberries will make this kiwi strawberry smoothie nice and cold, so ice will only be needed if the smoothie is too thick for your liking.
Blend until smooth. Pour this tasty smoothie into a tall glass and garnish with fresh strawberries.
