Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smo Summer has arrived, and we're savoring my cool smoothies made with my favorite fruit combinations. I made smoothies with SunGold Kiwi-Mango, SunGold Kiwi-Strawberry, and SunGold Kiwi-Mixed Berry for myself and the kids. In our summer smoothie, we love the high vitamin C content of sweet & refreshing SunGold kiwi. These smoothies are simple to make and quite tasty. If you've noticed, one of my favorite fruits in smoothies is kiwi. I discovered these SunGold @zesprikiwifruit @shopritestores and purchased two boxes (they come in a 1 pound pack) along with my grocery shopping from our local ShopRite. I purchased everything I'll need to create smoothies.
