Instructions

Combine the chopped kiwis, apple, and celery in a blender.
Add the ice cubes to the blender.
Blend for 2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth. This ensures a creamy, even texture.
Pour the smoothie into serving glasses. Garnish with fresh kiwi slices and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

For a dairy-free or vegan version, swap the vanilla ice cream for a plant-based alternative like coconut or almond milk ice cream, or a frozen banana.
To intensify the kiwi flavor and color, freeze peeled kiwi slices ahead of time and use them in place of some of the ice.
If you prefer a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the ice cream.
Elevate the presentation by garnishing with a kiwi slice and a sprig of fresh mint, or rimming the glass with sugar and lemon zest.
For an extra layer of flavor, add a small handful of fresh mint leaves before blending.
Chill your serving glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes before pouring the cooler.
For an extra zing, add a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice before blending.
Garnish with thin kiwi or apple slices on the rim, and sprinkle with chia seeds or fresh mint leaves.

Expert Tips

For a balanced sweetness, choose ripe but not overly sweet kiwis. Slightly tart kiwis will pair well with the sweetness of the other ingredients.
Adjust the amount of apple juice based on your preferred level of sweetness and the sweetness of the fruit. Start with less and add more to taste.
If using frozen fruit, you may need to add a little extra liquid to help the blender process the ingredients smoothly.

Storage Instructions

This kiwi cooler is best enjoyed immediately after preparation.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The texture may change slightly due to the melting ice cream.
