Kiwi Juice Ingredients
This Kiwi Juice recipe is so simple.
Besides kiwis and limes, it only requires some water and two other basic ingredients you’ll find in any household.
Kiwis
Kiwi fruits have furry brown skin and vibrant green flesh. They’re not as common as fruits like apples or oranges, but you should be able to find them at most stores.
You may also come across golden kiwis in addition to brown kiwis or green kiwis (that have a brown skin).
Golden kiwis have smooth brown skin and bright yellow flesh. These kiwis also have fewer seeds and taste sweeter. Some say the yellow kiwi has a more tropical flavor, like a mix between a mango and a strawberry.
You can use any type of kiwifruit for this recipe; both have various health benefits. They are low in calories but high in nutrients like vitamin C, which is essential for immune health. Kiwis also contain plant compounds that protect against health conditions like heart disease. They are also a nice source of dietary fiber.
To choose the best kiwis for your juice, avoid fruits with pronounced wrinkles or blemishes. Press the kiwi gently. If the fruit yields to a bit of pressure, it’s ripe; if it’s hard, it’s not ready yet.
Look for kiwis in the produce section of most grocery stores.
Limes
You can use any type of lime or line juice for this recipe.
Key limes are slightly smaller, a little also less acidic, and slightly sweeter, making them an excellent choice. But if you can’t find key limes, any other type of lime will work just fine.
Limes are jam-packed with nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants. They can help boost your immune system, improve iron absorption, and are an excellent nutrient for skincare.
If you don’t have lime juice, feel free to use lemon juice.
Sweetener
You can use any natural sweetener you have on hand for this recipe, for example, honey, maple syrup, agave syrup, or stevia.
If you use extra sweet kiwis or don’t have a sweet tooth, feel free to omit the sweetener altogether. This will yield a juice with no added sugar.
Salt
Adding salt to a sweet juice recipe may seem a little strange, but there is a good reason for this.
A sprinkle of salt on a piece of fruit can help reduce sourness and will elevate the sweetness. The same applies to fruit juice. You can use any salt for this recipe.
Or, if you’re on a low-sodium diet, just leave it out.
Water
You can decrease the water you use in this recipe for a thicker juice.
Or, if you like coconut water, you can use that instead of regular water. It will increase the nutrients in the juice and give it more hydration power.
Special Equipment
This recipe can use a blender, food processor, or immersion blender. Any of these will work well.
Recipe Steps
Making Kiwi Juice is quick and simple! Here are the steps it takes.
For more detailed instructions and quantities, see the recipe card below.
Step One
Wash the kiwis and cut them in half. Scoop the flesh out with a sharp-edged spoon and discard the kiwi skin.
Peel the limes and cut them into small pieces.
Step Two
Place the fruit and other ingredients in your blender or food processor, leaving out the ice cubes.
Step Three
Blend or process the juice for around 20 seconds or until it’s smooth.
Don’t over-blend it; it will crush the kiwi seeds.
Step Four
Serve the juice immediately in a clear glass over a few ice cubes, or store it covered in the fridge.
Feel free to strain the kiwi juice concentrate through a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag to get rid of the kiwi pulp.
I hope your family loves this homemade kiwi juice recipe as much as mine does. It’s a great way to use up lots of ripe kiwifruit, plus it tastes amazing with natural flavors.

Recipe FAQs
Yes, they are! Although some fruit seeds are toxic, kiwi seeds are very much edible and won’t cause you any harm. Quite the opposite, kiwi seeds have health benefits. They contain omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants.
Eating something delicious and healthy always makes me feel happier, but there’s scientific proof that kiwis can boost happiness and help you sleep. They contain serotonin, which can help improve your mood and help you get a restful night’s sleep.
It’s different for everyone, but most people should be able to drink up to a glass or two of fruit or vegetable juice daily. Like any other fruit juice, it’s best to enjoy its health benefits in moderation because it contains natural sugars.
Yes, but it’s more difficult to juice soft fruits using a juicer. If you want to use a juicer instead of a blender or food processor, you might want to add some harder fruits such as apple to help the juicer work efficiently. Just feed the whole fruit through the juicer chute, alternative soft and hard textures.
