Kiwi Coconut Smoothie is a refreshing and nutritious way to enjoy the tropical flavors of kiwi, pineapple, avocado, and coconut. Together they create a naturally sweet and deliciously creamy bright green smoothie that is the perfect afternoon cooldown or lively get-up-and-go breakfast! If you are a coconut superfan, we highly recommend you top this beauty with some unsweetened shaved coconut flakes for more coconut flavor and an added touch of pizzazz!
