Sugar free Kiwi Basil Smoothie
What are smoothies?
Generally speaking, smoothies are between-meal drinks. Or probably one that would drink after a workout, like a protein shake etc. But over the last few weeks, the H and me have had this as a soothing sugar free after breakfast drink and with the mercury soaring high it makes a great start to the day too. Some basic ingredients and you have a winner on hand.
Why Sugar free Kiwi Basil Smoothie?
Sugar in most forms do not appeal to us at breakfast or in a smoothie. But one can always add sugar or honey to this, but we liked it as it is. Eating fruits in its most natural form is most favoured at home. The next best bet is a smoothie. Other SUGARFREE Smoothies you may like on the blog is this Sugarfree CArrot Raisin Ginger Smoothie

Basil and kiwi is an interesting combination for a smoothie. I think I will give this combination a try. Will let you know about the taste
Such a lovely smoothie with kiwi and basil ….
Looks lovely. Basil and kiwi is a great combination.
Very refreshing and interesting smoothie…
what a unique combination of ingredients – never would have thought of this combo – looks great
That drink looks so delish..never made anything with kiwi other than eating as such..good one..
Cool combo of Kiwi and Basil. Love to try this!
I love the taste of basil in smoothies. The Kiwi and basil will be a flavourful one at breakfast
it IS absolutely a flavour packed smoothie
This is a lovely smoothie with kiwi and basil. I need to plant that basil in a pot now. Ideal drink for summer.
thanks jayashree. yes we have a mini basil plant at home exclusively 🙂
Most of my smoothies are with either milk or yogurt but one fruit I don’t like to pair with either is kiwi. It gives a slight different taste. Like your idea of using just crushed ice and the most interesting is the addition of black salt. Your sugar free kiwi basil smoothie is definitely a must try recipe.
thanks mayuri.We prefer ALL our smoothies vegan, and yes that black salt is a winner here.
Never thought about the combination of kiwi and basil. However it looks very refreshing. Also love the idea of using dates as sweetner
thanks amrita. We used dates as a sweetener for almost all smoothies to avoid sugar
The basil flavours are refreshing in the morning. Combined with Kiwi this is certainly an incredible breakfast smoothie.
yes, Seema. this is super refreshing!
Absolutely delicious smoothie. Sugar-free kiwi and basil smoothie. Hmm with the mercury rising I think we should add this to our mid-morning snack time.
we are doing that too with the kiwis flooding the market, although off-season now
Sugar free Kiwi basil smoothie sounds incredible. Liked the idea of adding kala namak and crushed ice. Would love to try this combo.
Thanks Preethi!
