Berry Spinach Smoothie with Passion Fruit

Taste

Tangy and fruity with a fragrant tropical note; fresh rather than sweet, with small crunchy seeds.

About this smoothie

Passion fruit (maracuja in many languages) has a distinctive sweet and sour, perfumed flavour that shines even in small amounts. Its seeds are edible and blend into tiny crunchy specks. Paired with frozen mixed berries and mild baby spinach, it gives a smoothie that is tangy and refreshing rather than sweet. Berries and passion fruit both contribute vitamin C, spinach adds folate and vitamin K. A good pick for anyone who prefers fruit drinks on the tart side.

Bartender tips

  • Ripe passion fruit has wrinkled skin and feels heavy for its size.
  • For more sweetness add half a banana; it also makes the texture creamier.

Variations

With mango
Add 80 g mango for a sweeter, more tropical version.
