Just three fruits deliver a burst of pure delight.

Three fruits, one blender, and you have a mood-lifting smoothie that tastes like summer in a glass. It comes together in minutes and still manages to feel like a small luxury.

Why this works

You get a smart balance of bright kiwi tang, ripe strawberry sweetness, and the soft, creamy comfort of banana. On the nutrition side, it brings vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants to the party. Simple, fresh, effective.

What you need

2 medium kiwis, peeled and chopped; 150 g fresh strawberries, rinsed and hulled (halve if large); 1 medium banana, sliced; 150 ml plain unsweetened yogurt; 1 tbsp honey (or agave syrup); 4-5 ice cubes, optional; a few fresh mint leaves for garnish.

How to make it

  1. Prep the fruit: Peel the kiwis and cut them into small pieces. Rinse the strawberries, pull off the stems, and halve any big ones. Peel the banana and slice it into rounds or small cubes so it blends easily.
  2. Load the blender: Add kiwi, strawberries, and banana. For a colder, brighter finish, drop in 4-5 ice cubes. Pour in the yogurt and add the honey. Prefer a different vibe? Swap the yogurt for plant milk or kefir, and the honey for agave syrup.
  3. Blend until silky and airy. Keep going until the texture is completely smooth. If it is thicker than you like, add a splash of water or a little more yogurt, then blend again.

Pour into glasses, top with mint leaves, and serve right away. Simple, fresh, and honestly a great use of three pieces of fruit.
