About this smoothie

This is a smoothie that relies on everyday fruit with one exotic accent. Red apple gives freshness and some fibre, especially with the skin on. Banana adds body and sweetness. Passion fruit is the aromatic highlight with its sweet-sour perfume and crunchy seeds, and a little grape juice rounds everything off.

It is on the sweeter side and dairy free, a good choice for children or as a quick breakfast on the go.

Bartender tips

  • Use a sweet, crisp apple variety such as Gala or Pink Lady.
  • For less sugar, replace the grape juice with more water.

Variations

Apple ginger
Swap the passion fruit for a thin slice of fresh ginger.
