A whole banana makes this smoothie thick and sweet, a ripe nectarine adds fragrance and a little acidity. Coconut water keeps it light and slightly tropical.

Taste
Creamy and sweet with ripe banana, a juicy nectarine note and a soft coconut finish.
About this smoothie
Banana is the classic smoothie base: it adds creaminess and natural sweetness and is known to provide potassium. On its own it can taste one-note, so the nectarine brings juice and a fresh stone fruit aroma. Coconut water adds its own mild sweetness.
The smoothie is fairly filling and fits breakfast or a snack after sport. Choose fruit that is fully ripe, then no sweetener is needed.
Bartender tips
Freeze the banana in slices for a thicker, ice-cold smoothie.
A pinch of cinnamon or vanilla suits the combination well.
Variations
With yoghurt
Replace half the coconut water with natural yoghurt for a creamier version.
