Are you looking for a healthy and refreshing drink? Look no further than this kiwi orange juice! Made with tangy kiwis and sweet oranges, this juice is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to give you a boost of energy and support your overall health.
Kiwi Orange Juice is a delightful blend of freshly squeezed orange juice and ripe kiwi fruit. The juicy, sweet oranges complement the tartness of the kiwis while adding a burst of citrusy goodness. Together, these two fruits create a flavorful and nutritious drink that will leave you feeling refreshed and energized.
What You Will Need
Apart from kiwis and oranges, you will require a few other ingredients to make this delicious juice.
1. Kiwis
Kiwis, also known as kiwifruit, are small, oval-shaped fruit with brown fuzzy skin and green flesh (also available in yellow). They are grown in many parts of the world, with New Zealand being the top producer. They are a rich source of vitamins C and E, dietary fiber, and potassium. Both magnesium and potassium are essential minerals for body and muscle function. Since they have plenty of fiber, they promote healthy digestion. You can use either fresh or frozen kiwis. I have used fresh kiwis in this recipe.
2. Oranges
Oranges are citrus fruits that are high in potassium, folate, and vitamin C, which are essential for collagen production. Collagen is a protein that is important for skin health and can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
3. Lemon juice
Lemons are high in vitamin C and fiber and provide several health benefits such as supporting heart health, weight management, and digestive health.
4. Mint leaves
Mint leaves are perfect for summer as they provide a cooling sensation and are suitable for digestion.
5. Honey (optional)
Honey is a natural sweetener. It is the perfect substitute for refined sugar and it boosts immunity. You can skip honey if the kiwis and oranges are sweet enough.
6. Black salt
Black salt gives a slight tangy taste to the juice.
7. Ice cubes
Ice for rehydration and cooling.
Note that the number of kiwis and oranges used can vary depending on their size and the desired amount of juice. Honey is an optional ingredient that can be added to taste. You can also add some cold water instead of ice cubes.
How To Make Kiwi Orange Juice
