Kiwi Cucumber Chia Fresh Smoothie

Best for

A light morning or afternoon smoothie when you want something fresh, not overly sweet. Serves 1.

Recipe ingredients

• 1 ripe kiwi, peeled
• 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt or kefir
• 1/4 cup cold water, plus more to thin
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 4 fresh mint leaves
• 1 teaspoon lime juice, optional
• Ice, optional

How to make it

1. Add kiwi, cucumber, yogurt, water, mint and optional lime to a blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Add chia seeds and pulse briefly, or stir them in for texture.
4. Let sit 3–5 minutes, then add water if it thickens too much.

When to drink

Enjoy fresh the same day, ideally as a snack or light breakfast side. Keep chilled and do not store longer than 24 hours.

Variations

Use kefir for tang, coconut water for a lighter version, or add a few berries if you prefer a softer taste. For dairy-free, choose an unsweetened plant yogurt you already tolerate.

Safety note

Adjust for dairy intolerance, diabetes needs, reflux with citrus, kiwi allergy, or medication-related dietary restrictions. This is a food recipe, not a detox or treatment.

Quick Checklist

• Blend smooth first, then add chia.
• Thin with water as needed.
• Use lime lightly.
• Drink fresh and chilled.
