Sugar free Kiwi Basil Smoothie

What are smoothies?

Generally speaking, smoothies are between-meal drinks. Or probably one that would drink after a workout, like a protein shake etc. But over the last few weeks, the H and me have had this as a soothing sugar free after breakfast drink and with the mercury soaring high it makes a great start to the day too. Some basic  ingredients and you have a winner on hand. 

Why Sugar free Kiwi Basil Smoothie?

Sugar in most forms do not appeal to us at breakfast or in a smoothie. But one can always add sugar or honey to this, but we liked it as it is. Eating fruits in its most natural form is most favoured at home. The next best bet is a smoothie.  Other SUGARFREE Smoothies you may like on the blog is this Sugarfree CArrot Raisin Ginger Smoothie

    This is a lovely smoothie with kiwi and basil. I need to plant that basil in a pot now. Ideal drink for summer.

    Most of my smoothies are with either milk or yogurt but one fruit I don’t like to pair with either is kiwi. It gives a slight different taste. Like your idea of using just crushed ice and the most interesting is the addition of black salt. Your sugar free kiwi basil smoothie is definitely a must try recipe.

    Never thought about the combination of kiwi and basil. However it looks very refreshing. Also love the idea of using dates as sweetner
