In a blender add chilled water, followed by chunks of cucumber. I have peeled it before chopping.
Then add chia seeds and cut kiwi. You can also add soaked chia seeds.
Next, add the orange wedges. Blend until smooth. Feel free to more ice or liquid to reach your desired consistency.
You can choose to strain it if needed. I don't. Pour this Kiwi Detox Smoothie immediately in these glasses and serve.

Instead of regular chilled water, you can also ice cubes or use unsweetened coconut water for more flavor.

There is no need to add sugar, but if you need to then add honey or maple syrup.

You need not peel the skin of kiwi. You can totally eat it with the skin. They are rich in antioxidants. Even the seeds and the core are edible.

Frozen kiwis can be used in smoothies. I would not use them in recipes where it needs to hold its shape, as they tend to go mushy when thawed.

Try mixing up some pear, mint, spinach, pineapple, ginger, lemon juice, celery in this morning detox drink just to get some new flavors.

To give it a protein boost, add some seeds or nuts or nut butter.

Can you make this smoothie in advance?

While it is not preferred, you can make this kiwi juice in advance and store it in the fridge for 1-2 days. But its best consumed fresh.

But you can surely prep for it in advance. Make day-wise bags of chopped ingredients ready to go and in the freezer.

That way you just have to take them out and toss them in the blender. It's that easy!

How to check if a kiwi is ripe?

Press down on it with your thumb. It is ripe if it yields to slight pressure. The ripe kiwi will be plump and fragrant.

How to peel the kiwi the right way?

You can either scoop out the insides after cutting it in half like we do with avocado or peel the skin off using a peeler.

How to freeze kiwi for smoothies?

Peel, and slice the kiwi. Then lay on a lined cookie sheet and freeze. Once they are frozen, transfer to Ziptop bags for storage.
