Tips for Success

• Kiwi Prep: Use ripe kiwi for the best flavor. If you’re in a rush, you can blend with the seeds intact for added fiber.
• Flavor Boost: Add a teaspoon of lime juice to complement the kiwi’s tanginess.
• Pre-Prep: Store peeled and sliced kiwis in the freezer for quicker assembly.
