- Follow with the chopped kiwi, fresh spearmint leaves, and frozen blueberries.
- Finally, add the fresh spinach leaves on top.
- Start blending on a low setting, gradually increasing to high until the mixture is smooth and well combined. This should take around 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender's power.
- If your smoothie is too thick, add a little more coconut milk or water until it reaches your desired consistency.

Tips:
- Use ripe kiwis: Make sure your kiwi is ripe to add natural sweetness and enhance the overall flavor of the smoothie.
- Freeze your spinach: Freezing the spinach beforehand can make it easier to blend and will keep your smoothie nice and cold without needing to add ice.
- Blend in stages: Start by blending the coconut milk, kiwi, and spearmint until smooth. Then, add the frozen blueberries and spinach and blend until fully combined. This ensures a smoother texture.
- Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup.
- Add protein powder: For an added protein boost, consider incorporating a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
