Adapted from a kiwi site, this is fun to make. Have fun with it and you may substitute fruits as long as the colors correspond.

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

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)

Steps:

  • Slice green kiwifruit into halves and spoon the fruit out into a food processor or blender with 1-2 tablespoons of orange juice.
  • Process until just smooth, taking care not to crush the seeds. Pour into one or two long glasses.
  • 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. Purée, until just smooth.
  • Carefully pour the gold purée over the back of a spoon on top of the green purée to form two distinct layers.
  • Purée the raspberries in a clean blender with 2 tablespoons of orange juice, until just smooth. Pour red purée over the back of a spoon on top of the gold purée to make the third layer.
  • Serve immediately.
  • 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 purées.
