I think Kiwis are one of the most beautiful fruits on Earth. Their unpromising hairy brown skin only covers the most amazing star-like juicy center.
Kiwi's tart flavor provides a delicious way to start the day with a smoothie or breakfast bowl.

With its unique flavor combination, kiwi is a great addition to salads, on sweet/savory toasts, or its own as a delicious mid-morning snack.
Kiwi juice also contains heart-healthy benefits, including reducing the risk of clots and reducing blood pressure levels. Plus, some research has been carried out that shows a link between kiwis and the reduction of chest issues. This includes asthma, prolonged coughing, wheezing, etc.
This fresh kiwi fruit juice is made with apples and celery for a delicious, hassle-free start to the day.

See the recipe card for quantities for the perfect homemade kiwi juice.
Substitutions
- Green apples - use any other apples or citrus fruits like orange juice, clementines, and lime juice.
- Celery - use the same amount of cucumbers to substitute the juice's watery, hydrating, and salty components.
🍽 Equipment
Juicer - choose a cold-pressed juicer (affiliate link)over a centrifugal juicer. They are a little more expensive but are definitely the best option in the long run. They yield more juice, and since there is no heat involved as there is in centrifugal users, your juice preserves more nutrients and oxidizes slower (lasts more).
OR
- Blender- if you don't have a juicer, you will need a high-speed blender (affiliate link) and,
- Mesh strainer- when making juice, use a regular colander or nut milk bags. We recommend using the same ones we use to make almond milk.
- Bowl - It is always better to use a large bowl (affiliate link) to work the blender method without making a mess in the kitchen early in the morning.
🔪 Instructions
This kiwi juice recipe involves a couple of simple steps. Start by washing and preparing your ingredients. Optionally peel the kiwi fruit (I usually only remove its hard button. Remove the apple core and leave the skins on.
Step 1: Remove the apple´s core and chop all the ingredients.
Step 2: Prepare for juicing or portioning them, storing the chopped ingredients in a BPA-free container for a quicker juicing morning.
Step 3: Pass all the ingredients through the juicer.
Step 4: Compost your apple, celery, and kiwi pulp.
Hint: optionally enjoy this simple kiwi juice recipe with sparkling water and ice cubes for a refreshing and hydrating summer drink.
