Thick and creamy, with sweet banana, honeyed mango and a tangy passion fruit note.
About this smoothie
Banana and mango are both creamy fruits, so this smoothie needs no yoghurt to be thick. Coconut milk strengthens the tropical character, and half a passion fruit adds acidity and a floral aroma that stops the sweetness from becoming heavy. Mango is a source of vitamin C and beta carotene, banana of potassium.
It is filling enough for breakfast and sweet enough for dessert. Frozen mango makes it thick and cold year round.
Bartender tips
Frozen banana or mango make the smoothie thick and ice cold.
Add the passion fruit last and pulse briefly to keep the seeds whole.
