  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Liquid Base

  • 1 ½ cups coconut water
  • 1 cup aloe vera juice (or substitute with more coconut water, decaf green tea, or filtered water)

Fruits and Flavorings

  • 2 kiwis (with skin on)
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup

To Serve

  • Ice
  • Lime or kiwi wedge (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all the ingredients—coconut water, aloe vera juice, kiwis (with skin on), lime juice, salt, and honey or maple syrup to ensure smooth workflow before blending.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add the coconut water, aloe vera juice, whole kiwis, lime juice, salt, and sweetener into a blender. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and well combined.
  3. Strain Mixture: Pour the blended liquid through a fine mesh sieve to remove the kiwi pulp and any fibrous bits, resulting in a smooth, clear drink.
  4. Serve: Fill a glass with ice, pour the strained gatorade over the ice, and garnish with a wedge of lime or kiwi. Serve immediately for a refreshing hydration boost.

Notes

  • You can substitute aloe vera juice with decaf green tea, more coconut water, or filtered water if desired.
  • Leaving the kiwi skin on boosts fiber and nutrients but be sure to wash them thoroughly before blending.
  • Adjust the sweetness by increasing or decreasing honey or maple syrup according to taste.
  • This drink is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
