Passion fruit has one of the most intense aromas of any fruit, and a single one is enough to perfume the whole glass. Ginger adds warmth, apple the juicy base, spinach the colour.

Baby Spinach, Ginger and Passion Fruit Smoothie
Aromatic and tangy, with intense passion fruit, juicy apple and a warming ginger finish.
Passion fruit pulp is tart and heavily fragrant, with a tropical scent that carries through almost anything. In this smoothie it meets a sweet red apple, which balances the acidity, and fresh ginger, which adds a pleasant heat at the back of the throat.
Baby spinach adds folate and vitamin K and a fresh green colour without much flavour of its own. The crunchy passion fruit seeds are edible and add a little texture. It is a lively, awakening drink for the morning.
Yes, they are edible and add a slight crunch. Strain the smoothie if you prefer it smooth.
Yes, if you sweeten with agave syrup instead of honey.
Fresh ginger is better. In a pinch, use a small pinch of ground ginger.
