Nutrition, whole recipe (rough)
Counts 3 of 4 ingredients. The other 1 aren't in our nutrition table and add nothing above, so the real totals are higher.

|---|---|---|
| Grape | 1/2 cup (76g) | 62 |
| Strawberry | 1 cup (152g) | 49 |
| Kiwi | 1 medium (69g) | 42 |
| Berry | not in our table | 0 |

The step that matters
Shake all ingredients well. Vigorous shaking blends the four liquids evenly and chills the drink, so a short or gentle shake leaves it unevenly mixed and too warm.
