Instructions
- Prepare Kiwis: Peel and chop the kiwis into manageable pieces to ensure they blend evenly and create a smooth texture.

Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt and honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Adding spinach boosts the nutritional value without overpowering the kiwi flavor.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, use frozen kiwi pieces instead of fresh.
- Adjust honey quantity based on the natural sweetness of the kiwis.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately as it may oxidize and lose vibrant color if stored.
