Avocado Smoothie with Passion Fruit

Passion fruit is small but very aromatic, and one fruit is enough to flavour the whole glass. Avocado makes it creamy, spinach adds colour.

About this smoothie

Passion fruit pulp is intensely fragrant and quite tart, which makes it a good partner for mild, creamy avocado. The small black seeds are edible and give a slight crunch; strain them out if you prefer a smooth drink. Baby spinach adds green colour with almost no flavour.

Passion fruit is known to contain vitamin C and fibre. Because the smoothie contains little sugar, you may want a spoon of honey. It fits breakfast or a light lunch.

Bartender tips

  • Ripe passion fruit has wrinkled skin and feels heavy for its size.
  • Blend the seeds only briefly, or strain them out after blending.

Variations

With mango
Add 80 g mango for a sweeter, fuller tropical smoothie.
