Let us make Kiwi mango smoothie,
The ingredients required to make this easy and tasty smoothie are
1. Mango
There are many verities belongs to the mango family. The one which is commonly found here in Pennsylvania has thicker skin. Some of you may find it difficult to cut the mango because of its thick skin and bigger pit inside. The pit inside the fruit occupies around 30% of the fruit size depending on the verity. Run your knife slightly away from the center. If you are a beginner start slicing them in smaller portions.
The ripen mangoes are great for making smoothie. To test, the mango has to be soft when touched.
2. Kiwi
Same as mango, mango kiwi smoothie tastes yum when the fruits are fully ripened. If the fruits are firm, here is the pro tip. Wrap it in the paper bag and allow them to sit on the kitchen counter till the fruits become soft to touch.
The seeds are tiny and hence it is easy to prepare to make the mango kiwi smoothie. This has got fussy skin, wash and clean thoroughly. Peel off the skin or scoop the flesh using spoon.
3. Yogurt
Plain non fat yogurt is great. And when planning to serve to children, you may opt for full fat yogurt. Both the versions are great to taste.
4. Sweetener
I have made today with natural sweetener that is Honey. But you may substitute with sugar, coconut sugar, or other choices of yours. Or if the fruits are sweet enough, then you may omit using the sweeteners.
Adopting Kiwi Mango smoothie for various diets
paleo: Replace yogurt with coconut milk or almond milk.
Keto, Whole30: Swap yogurt with coconut milk or almond milk. And avoid using the honey.

Make ahead preparations:
I know morning hours are busy for you. I’m reading your mind, making our smoothie involves laborious work like peeling and cutting. But this problem can be easily overcome by preparing the ingredients ahead of time.
The peeling and cutting can be done well in advance, say before night. But refrigerate peeled and sliced fruits in an air tight containers. Refrigerate the yogurt separately. Combine them in a blender whenever needed, thus can save time and last-minute hassles.
