What a beautiful day we’ve had here in Blighty…..heaven 
Today has been spent sitting in the garden and walking in Hawthorn Dene with the pup. Hawthorn Dene is beautiful and it is starting come alive
Anyway…..today is SUPERFOOD SUNDAY! And today it’s all about the KIWI FRUIT!
Kiwi deliciousness!
Kiwi fruits contain about as much potassium as bananas, and also contain 1.5 times the DRI for Vitamin C. It is also rich in Vitamins A and E, and its black seeds can be crushed to produce kiwi fruit oil, which is very rich in Alfa-Linoleic Acid (an important Omega-3 essential fatty acid)
Studies have proven that kiwifruits are useful in improving conditions of asthmatic children, and in decreasing the probability of colon cancer by providing a good amount of dietary fiber (source)
My sister is an Optician and she also says that kiwis are stellar for reducing degenerative eye diseases….man can this fruit get any better?! I think not!
Now some might say that today’s kiwi recipe is kinda boring…..but I was more interested in the garden than the kitchen today We gotta make the most of this beautiful weather because it is so rare! Anyway….my KIWI COLADA smoothie was a welcome treat in the afternoon sun
KIWI COLADA
- 3 pineapple rings
- 1 small frozen banana
- 3 chopped kiwis
- 5 raspberries
- 6 large ice cubes (or more if you’d like)
Blend. Pour.Drink.
I hope you all had a fun in the sun day too…..Monday tomorrow……time really does fly
<3
Ooooh that kiwi drink sounds amazing!! I bet it’s kinda tart? yum. I have to remember to try that soon- great idea!
if I add rum to your kiwi-colada does it cancel out the superfood qualities?!
That trail is beautiful! mmmm……that kiwi colada sounds so good right now
Yumm, I love kiwis! I’m so glad you posted this information, and I am looking forward to trying that drink. Perfect for a warm day treat
Oh my gosh this sounds soooo good. I love kiwis! I would love to add coconut or mango to this too.
I really like kiwi fruit. Your drink looks and sounds lovely! I’ve started toeat it with the furry skin on as I’m too lazy to peel it!
Kiwi is so delicious, and totally reminds me of summer! Love your drink, but I must admit, I’d probably add some rum in there!
heehee! why not!
beautiful photography!
I wish I could find more reasonably priced kiwis so I could try your delicious smoothie!
I’d love to drink a kiwi colada beside the pool. Ok, who wants to babysit so I can do that?
hey, love, thanks for stopping by my blog! i just love kiwis. they’re little bursts of heave!
*heaven
It has been a gorgeous weekend hasn’t it? Loved it! Had two barbeques
Definitely thinking I might have to make a kiwi colada to go with my next one though!!
Yes Katie’s bake sale was amazing! Did you bid on/win anything? I’m going to put the marshmallow recipe up probably when I make the batch for the winner! Oh and thanks for the compliments on my photos
That smoothie sounds divine — not boring at all!!
I love kiwis…I had no idea they were so good for reducing degenerative eye disease! That’s awesome!
hey! I want to be able to have you read my blog because I just made it private, but it wont let me… whats your username? Maybe it will work that way
just email me it kimiupsidedown@gmail.com
That smoothie looks incredible! Reminds me of warm weather, sun and beaches. Sigh, summer could not come soon enough. I always forget about kiwi for some reason, but with all those vitamins maybe I should go put them on my grocery list.
I love everything about this! Kiwis are our favorite. I always try to pump up my nutrition on sunday, just to complete the week. SUPER!
Kiwi Colada sounds SO refreshing!
Sounds lovely and refreshing! YUM!

I absolutely love kiwis! I haven’t had them in forever though.
That kiwi coloda sounds delicious though, so I think I should definitely pick some up soon. 
I LOVE kiwis but I’m allergic to them! Wish I could have a taste of this colada…I know I would love it!
Yummy! That looks absolutely delicious. I love your blog girl it is great. I need all the nutrition help I can get.
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I was able to find your now and am excited to follow. Have a fabulous day.
I need to get some pineapple so I can make this! I am alllllll about the kiwis! <3 fav!
Very interesting post – definitely need to get eatin’ more kiwis! I used to eat them regularly as a kid but not anymore. I seem to stick with bananas, apples, and pears now. Maybe I’ve just got boring as I’ve got older?
