Glow Amla Kiwi Smoothie

Jump to Recipe

Summer is here– bright, warm, and enveloping. Daylight stretches further into evenings, inviting us to linger longer in the outdoors. Rays of sunshine kiss our upturned faces, leaving their trademark healthy glow.

Real glow, however, comes from the inside out. Nourishing our bodies with nutrient-rich foods works alongside smart skincare routines to support healthy, radiant skin and whole-body health. Pamper yourself with this refreshing, powerful green smoothie, bursting with hydrating, nurturing, energizing ingredients, including our ORGANIC INDIA Amla.

With the base of kiwi and pineapple blended with piquant ginger, refreshing coconut water, fresh spinach, and zesty lime, there’s a lot coming together in this nutritious amla kiwi smoothie. Rather than competing, though, the flavors meld harmoniously. You can also feel free to cut back on or switch up ingredients. Use mango in place of pineapple, skip the ginger if you want to, add zest of lime as well as juice. We love dressing this up by pressing thin kiwi slices against the glass before pouring in the smoothie. You can add yogurt, if using, in the blender, or top a layer of smoothie level with the kiwi slices for a pretty, cloudlike effect.

If you’re feeling extra adventurous, slip in a serving (two capsules, or just under a half teaspoon) of our ORGANIC INDIA Neem, best known for promoting healthy skin. Play around to suit your mood and glow with it.

What’s in This Glow-Getting Smoothie?

Amla
Also known as Indian Gooseberry, superfruit Amla is known for providing anti-aging effects, supporting immune function, promoting heart health and more. Known for its vitamin C content in raw form and antioxidant properties, Amla can help support detox, aid collagen production, and protect against sun damage. 

Kiwi
Humble on the outside, bright, beguiling kiwi are dazzling once sliced. As well as being rich in antioxidants, including skin-nurturing vitamins C and S, kiwi are also a source of coveted omega-3 fatty acids.

Pineapple
We love pairing vibrant, sweet and tangy pineapple here–yet another abundant source of Vitamin C and more.

Coconut Water
As well as being unbelievably refreshing, delicately sweet coconut water is rich in electrolytes, enhancing overall hydration.

Avocado
Creamy avocados are rich in Vitamin E and healthy fats known for numerous health benefits, including the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Spinach
We never miss an opportunity to toss green leafy superfoods into anything we can! Here, a good handful of fresh spinach deepens the lush green color while adding a boatload of nutrition benefits.
