Cherimoya is sometimes called custard apple, and one spoonful explains why: the flesh is soft, creamy and tastes of pineapple, banana and vanilla. Nectarine and mint make the smoothie fresher.

Creamy and custard-like with tropical sweetness, juicy stone fruit and a cool mint finish.
The cherimoya comes from the Andes and is grown today in several subtropical regions, including southern Spain. Its white flesh is naturally creamy, so this smoothie gets a rich texture without any dairy. The large black seeds must be removed completely, as they are not edible. A ripe nectarine adds juicy acidity, and a few mint leaves give a cool finish.
It is an unusual, dessert-like smoothie that works as a special breakfast or afternoon treat.
