Kiwi fruit is rich in nutrients which makes a great healthy food for babies, toddlers and kids. I randomly tried this creamy green kiwi banana smoothie and surprisingly it turned out good. Adding Banana to this smoothie helps in getting creamy texture and subsides the slight sour & bitter taste of the kiwi fruit. This kiwi banana smoothie can be given to babies from 10 months(start with little amount) and it makes a nice healthy breakfast smoothie option for toddlers and kids!
