Passion fruit has an intensely perfumed, tart flavour that transforms a plain apple smoothie. Ginger adds a light warmth, and mint cools it down again.

Fresh and tangy, with tropical passion fruit, sweet apple, a gentle ginger heat and cool mint.
Passion fruit is one of the most aromatic fruits there is, so a single one flavours a whole glass. Its crunchy black seeds are edible and give the drink a slight texture if you leave them in. Apple forms the neutral, sweet base, and a thin slice of fresh ginger adds spice without dominating.
This smoothie is light and refreshing rather than filling, a good choice for the morning or a hot afternoon. Choose a passion fruit with wrinkled skin: that means it is ripe and at its most fragrant.
