- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a colder smoothie)

Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled for more servings.
- You don’t have to peel the kiwi if you don’t want to! Kiwi skin is edible and has added fiber. But, some people don’t like to eat the skin. Be sure to wash the kiwi well if you are going to blend them whole (and then cut them into halves or quarters before adding them to the blender).
- The nutritional information on this recipe is based on using dairy-based yogurt. The protein content will be lowered if you use a dairy-free yogurt alternative.
