📖 Instructions

1. Gather your ingredients and equipment. Wash and thoroughly clean all the fruits before beginning. This is crucial for a safe and delicious smoothie.
2. Hull and slice the strawberries. Roughly chop them into smaller pieces for easy blending. The size doesn't matter too much, as long as they are small enough for your blender.
3. Peel and slice the kiwis. Similar to the strawberries, chop them into bite-sized pieces. It's better to err on the side of smaller pieces, particularly for a less powerful blender.
4. Combine all ingredients. Add all the ingredients, including the strawberries, kiwis, water or milk (or yogurt!), honey or maple syrup, and ice cubes, to your blender. Make sure the ice isn't so densely packed it prevents the blades from turning.
5. Blend the mixture. Start blending on a low speed and gradually increase the speed to high for approximately 1-2 minutes, or until the smoothie has reached a smooth and creamy consistency. If you like a thicker smoothie, reduce the amount of liquid. If it's too thick, add more liquid a little at a time until it is desired thickness.
6. Taste and adjust. Once the smoothie is completely blended, taste it to see if you would like to make any adjustments. You might want to add a bit more honey or maple syrup if it's not sweet enough or a splash more milk if you desire a thinner texture.
7. Pour and serve. Once satisfied with the flavor and consistency, pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or mug. Garnish with fresh strawberries and kiwi slices for an extra visual appeal. Enjoy immediately for optimum refreshment! Mmm, refreshing!
