2. Make sure the mango smoothie is properly set before you spoon the kiwi mixture over it.
3. You may use canned cherries along with Kiwi slices for garnishing.
4. Do not add too much of lemon zest as it will impart bitter flavor to the smoothie.
5. You may increase the quantity of baby spinach, if you are a spinach lover.
