Equipment

High-Powered Blender
Juicer optional
Strainer if using blender or food processor

Ingredients

15 kiwis
3 ¾ cups water

Instructions

Clean the kiwis

Use an abrasive sponge or firm scrub brush to remove some of the hairy skin. Rinse thoroughly after scrubbing and pat dry with a (paper) towel.
If you prefer, you can completely remove the kiwi skin by: cutting the skin, peeling the skin, or scooping out the flesh with a spoon. This is optional and does reduce the nutritional value.
Once clean, remove the hard stems of the top and bottom.

Juicer

Cut kiwis in half to fit in the chute of your juicer.
Turn on juicer to LOW and add kiwis one at a time through the chute until all are complete.

Blender/Immersion Blender/Food processor

Place all kiwis into blender, food processor, or into large bowl (if using immersion blender), and blend until smooth. If using a blender or food processor, you may have to do this in multiple batches.
Once blended, either add water at this step for a pulpy and thick juice, or strain.
To strain, pour the juice into a cheesecloth or nut milk bag and manually squeeze out as much liquid as possible, alternatively use a strainer and press on the pulp to push through the liquid. If using a strainer, it will take some hard labor to push through the liquid.
Once strained, add in water and stir to combine.

Notes

Depending on the juiciness of your kiwi’s, you may result in less kiwi purée, or you might want to make less! I add ¾ cup of water to every 1 cup of kiwi purée. If you prefer a more diluted and thin kiwi juice, add more water.

If kiwi juice is too bitter/sour, you can add sweetener, like maple syrup, agave, honey, or even simple syrup!

Look for kiwis that are plump and are slightly soft. Firm kiwis can be very sour, but also avoid those that are overly soft or wrinkly.

Storing: Leftover kiwi juice is best served within 24 hours, but can last 2-3 days at most in the refrigerator.

Freezing: Freeze fresh juice in an ice cube tray. Once frozen, transfer the cubes to an airtight ziplock or freezer bag and keep in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Read more about freezing juices in juicing for energy.
