Ingredients

  • 2 green kiwi fruits
  • 2 gold kiwi fruits (or 1 peach and 3 slices pineapple)
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 3/4 cup raspberries (or strawberries or a mix of both)

Instructions

  1. Slice green kiwifruit into halves and spoon the fruit out into a food processor or blender with 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice.
  2. Process until just smooth, taking care not to crush the seeds. Pour into one or two long glasses.
  3. Slice the gold kiwifruit(or peach and pineapple) into halves and spoon the fruit into a clean food processor or blender with 3-4 tablespoons of orange juice. Puree, until just smooth.
  4. Carefully pour the gold puree over the back of a spoon on top of the green puree to form two distinct layers.
  5. Puree the raspberries in a clean blender with 2 tablespoons of orange juice, until just smooth. Pour red puree over the back of a spoon on top of the gold puree to make the third layer.
  6. Serve immediately.
  7. Note: ripe kiwifruit works best for this recipe, as the green kiwifruit can be a bit too tart. If you feel this recipe needs more sweetening, then a spoon full of honey can be added to any of the three fruit purees.
