Recipe developed by dietitian Airlie Lacey
No kiwi fruit? Substitute 1 cup pineapple pieces or 1 pear
More fruity taste? Swap the kiwi fruit for 1/2 cup berries
No kale? Swap for English spinach or silverbeet (chard) or 2 teaspoons spirulina
Too thick? Use half the quantity of kale and/or half a banana
