Preparation
Cut kiwis into chunks and place in a food processor or blender. Add melon, kale, banana, milk and chia. Purée until smooth.
Pour smoothie into 3 or 4 bowls. Arrange toppings on smoothie. Serve with spoons.
Tips
Underripe kiwi can be a bit sour, so use honey or maple syrup to sweeten. Chia seeds are high in fibre and omega-3 fatty acids and help to thicken the smoothie.
Sprinkle with nuts for extra protein. Substitute your favourite fruits in similar quantities.
