Nutrition For Mental Health
One kiwi contains 14 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 1 gram of protein, and 0.44 grams of fat. They are rich in vitamins K and C. Kiwis are also a good source of copper and contain smaller amounts of magnesium, potassium, folate, and vitamin E.
Kiwis also contain carotenoids, including lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene. A systematic review and meta-analysis found that dietary intake of carotenoids reduces the risk of depressive symptoms.
Ingredients +Notes
Simple ingredients bring this easy kiwi mango smoothie together.
- Mango: This tropical fruit offers a sweet, tangy taste.
- Kiwi: Obviously, this smoothie has to contain kiwis. It’s in the name. Kiwi skin is edible, so you can just leave it on and add the whole fruit. (I know, crazy right!?)
A full list of ingredients with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Recipe Variations
This smoothie is perfection. However, if you have an allergy or need to make a substitution for some reason, here are some recommendations.
- Yogurt: Plain vegan yogurt could be added to this kiwi mango smoothie for extra creaminess. (It would also add a tangy taste if you don’t have lime on hand.)
- Protein powder: For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Milk: This recipe uses almond milk, but any non-dairy milk will work just fine. Using coconut milk, oat milk, soy milk, and hemp milk will all result in a tasty kiwi smoothie.
- Coconut water: Looking for extra hydration? Swap out the milk for coconut water.
- Leafy greens: This mango kiwi smoothie calls for spinach. However, I would always recommend using whatever leafy green you have on hand, whether that be spinach, kale, or collard greens.
