About this smoothie

Banana and passion fruit are a classic tropical pairing: the mild, sweet banana tempers the intense acidity of the passion fruit, which in turn keeps the banana from tasting flat. Bananas provide potassium and natural sugar, which is why this smoothie is a popular quick snack before or after exercise.

With water as the only liquid it is completely plant based and light. A frozen banana makes it thicker and colder.

Bartender tips

  • Use a frozen banana for a thick, ice-cold smoothie without ice cubes.
  • Choose a wrinkled passion fruit: the skin shrivels as it ripens and the pulp gets sweeter.

Variations

Creamy version
Replace the water with coconut milk or oat drink.
