Good to know

Herbs in a juice take the whole flavour to a completely new level. The basil goes really well with the sharp acidity of the kiwi.

Swaps

Basil → mint (if basil is too strong for you in the morning, fresh mint gives a much cooler flavour).

Cooking tips

The softer the kiwi, the sweeter the juice. Leave hard kiwis next to an apple for a few days so they ripen quickly.

Storage

The apple and kiwi mix tends to separate in the glass. Stir it briskly with a spoon just before drinking.
