Tips for Saving Energy:

• If you're making a larger batch, you can chill the fruit punch in the fridge ahead of time, so you don’t need to use as much ice, which helps conserve energy.

• Use a manual citrus juicer to get fresh lime and orange juice, saving energy that would otherwise be used in an electric juicer or blender.

Who Should Avoid It?:

• If you have an allergy to kiwis, you can substitute it with other fruits like mango or papaya for a similar texture and tropical flavor.
