Happy As a Gram

Inspired by the tangram, a Chinese dissection puzzle made up of geometric shapes arranged in varying combinations to form other shapes, this design is one that has come to define the Lokokitchen aesthetic. While the concept is derived through coplanar placement of polygons and assorted angles, don’t get bogged down by the formula. Ultimately, the sum of its parts is simply a tart, and variables will translate, too.

Mango Slushie

Ginger kombucha adds bright flavor and plenty of healthful probiotics to this tropical fruit smoothie.

These Kiwi Berries Are Borderline Too Cute to Eat

Enter the most adorable Frankenfruit yet.

Kiwi Ice Pop

You’ll need some lollipop sticks for this recipe. We found some interesting yellow serving sticks that worked well at dinner, but if worse comes to worst you can use cocktail sticks.

Chipotle Pork Loin With Blueberry–Kiwi Salsa

Tart kiwi and sweet blueberries make a unique salsa to dress your basic pork loin. This is a leaner cut of pork, so be sure not to overcook it; you can test the meat by slicing it with a paring knife or using an instant-read thermometer, which should register 145ºF.

Green Salad with Prosciutto Vinaigrette

The crisped prosciutto adds salty and savory notes, not unlike what Parmesan brings to a Caesar dressing.

Fruity Lemonade Ice Pops

Kiwi Lime Pie

SUPERFOODS: Eggs, Kiwifruit, Oats, Pumpkin Seeds The tasty, tender graham cracker crust of this light pie subs pumpkin seeds and ground flax (both rich in unsaturated fats) for butter. You won't notice the difference, but your body will! These good-for-you fats readily burn fat off you.

Shrimp with Kiwifruit-Lime Relish

猕猴桃、酸橙汁、辣椒和香菜tropical—and antioxidant-rich—accompaniment to simple seared shrimp; you can also use the relish to top grilled fish, or as a healthy dip with tortilla chips. Serve the shrimp and relish with black lentils and whole-wheat naan (Indian flatbread), as shown, or with brown rice and tortillas.

Poached Tropical Fruit with Sorbet

Chunks of kiwi, mango, and pineapple are poached in a spicy peppercorn-infused pineapple syrup, then served with sorbet. Kiwifruit and mango offer ample vitamin C; pineapple provides bromelain, an enzyme that aids digestion, reduces inflammation, and helps heal bruises.

Kiwifruit Summer Rolls

This refreshing roll packs a lot of health within its wrapper: Kiwifruit provides vitamin C; savory peanuts are rich with B vitamins, vitamin E, and healthy monounsaturated fat; fresh mint leaves soothe the digestive tract. Look for the noodles and wrappers in the Asian foods section of your grocery store.

Pineaple-Kiwi Salsa

Sweet and spicy, this fruit salsa is a refreshing accompaniment to grilled chicken, pork, fish, or shrimp. It is also great as a quick, healthy snack when served on apple or pear slices or warm whole-wheat pita triangles.

Spiced Fruit

You will need to make this colorful dessert at least 8 hours in advance. If you want to stretch it to serve 12, spoon a half-cup of fat-free vanilla frozen yogurt into each bowl and top each serving with a half-cup of Spiced Fruit.

Strawberry-Banana Sorbet

When the bananas on your counter start to freckle, it’s time to make sorbet!

Rainbow Puff-Pastry Tarts

A French patisserie classic is made modern. The tarts pictured incorporate sliced kiwi fruit, peaches, and strawberries, along with assorted whole berries, but feel free to improvise with your favorite fresh or poached fruit, and to arrange it in whatever pattern pleases you. That’s half the fun of a recipe such as this—the shell serves as a blank canvas for your creativity.
