i love eating kiwi with its skin
I like to eat Kiwi’s slices and with a bit of lemon juice.
Is it weird that I eat kiwis like I eat apples? I like the hairy skin and I just bite into them and go to town! ha!
That is a salad I’d never have thought of!!
I love to eat kiwi just as it is! Or in a fruit salad!
straight from the fridge, than peel it and eat it! yammie!
i love kiwi!!! OH EM GEE. any way. all ways. skinned and sliced, in a fruit salad, on top of a dinner salad, tossed in greek yogurt. you name it. YUM
Put it in a salsa with raspberries, strawberries, apples, and mango! It goes great with cinnamon tortillas. A nice snack.
I love eating it straight up!!! A wee bit of yogurt to spice things up, but I truly love it all by its lonesome!
OMG this purse looks so cute. I’m so excited to enter. My fave way to eat a kiwi is probably in a little fruit tart. I’m saying this because I had one at BlogHer this past weekend at lunch and I adored it!
I love kiwi (green and gold) by itself – but as a recipe I like it in fresh fruit salad or my kiwi-strawberry smoothie!
The best way to eat kiwi is just to cut it in half and take a spoon and eat out the fruit. It’s like the fruit comes in its own little bowl! It makes eating healthy a little fun and no effort at all!
I love freezing kiwis and dipping them in dark chocolate!
I love to eat the plain! Or sometimes with a little bit of strawberry vinegarette.
I love eating kiwis in a fruit salad! It’s super refreshing in the summertime. I mix mine with pineapple and apples. The combination is delicious!
My kids are always so picky but the one fruit that they love are kiwis. We tried a really cool recipe for kiwi bread. It tastes amazing!
My tennis team loves to make kiwi pops! You stick the kiwis in a freezer for about 30 minutes so that they’re chilled and split the kiwi in half and then you just push them out like an instant popsicle!
Kiwi smoothies!
I personally love eating kiwis plain. They taste great as they are.
My favorite way to eat them is with beef. It’s fun and adds a tangy and sweet to it. Try it as a marinade!
I like pretending that the hairy part is a bowl and I just scoop it out with a mini tea spoon.
Nothing beats a Zesty Kiwi salad on a warm summer day. Especially with the weather that we’ve been having!
I love to eat kiwi in fruit salads or in smoothies! Yum!
I’ve always kept things simple just because I’m very cooking challenged. A spoon and a nice cold zesty kiwi is how I eat mine.
I have tried at least 10 different kiwi recipes. I love them when they are in fruit tarts because I have a huge sweet tooth! My neighbor once made a kiwifruit jam. It has an interesting taste but I would definitely recommend trying it.
I love eating kiwi in a nice fruit salad.
Thanks!

I eat my ZESPRI kiwifruit with Special K cereal. Adding strawberries makes it even more fun and delicious!
My mom made me a Five Star White Chocolate Fruit Tart for my birthday. I’ve been in love with it ever since.
She got it from this website. http://www.food.com/recipe/five-star-white-chocolate-fruit-tart-53996
This is really a cute purse and I love this one. I will check out this one online and purchase this stuff if I will not win.
I never eat Kiwi unless it’s prepared for me by someone else…usually in a fruit salad. But perhaps I should start
I love slicing kiwi up and eating it plain or sometimes I will throw it in a fruit salad!
I love it in a kiwi mango salsa recipe I have!
I love cutting up kiwi and having it in either a fruit salad with other more tropical fruit, or mixing it in with yogurt!
Oh LOVE Kiwi!!! And favorite way is just as is =) Favorite way for most of my fruit!!!
Kiwis are the best. You wouldn’t guess that they would taste so deliciously sweet with the looks of their exterior. My friend once made a carrot kiwi juice and it tasted amazing!
I always have to keep things interesting with my kids. We were having peanut butter and honey sandwiches and cut up kiwis. My daughter wanted to see what kiwis and honey would taste like so I let her try it and it’s been her favorite go-to snack ever since. It actually tastes pretty good.
I am definitely very health-conscious ever since I joined my university’s running club. Kiwis taste great in a banana kiwi salad or kiwi lime ice pops. There are some wonderful recipes online.
I like to scoop it out with a spoon!
eating them chilled!
Just plain is perfect for me
All I need is a spoon and a kiwi for a good time.
When I was younger, I wouldn’t eat kiwis because of their hairy skin. Now I can’t get enough of it. My favorite kiwi version is blended.
Love the website! Kiwis, for me, taste the greatest when I add the slices into sangria. It’s great for little celebrations or special occasions.
