About this smoothie
Passion fruit has an intense, floral and sour aroma that dominates any drink it touches, which is exactly the point here. It turns a simple apple and pear base into something tropical. Its edible black seeds add a little crunch and fibre.
With coconut water instead of milk, the smoothie is light and refreshing, ideal after sport or on a hot afternoon. Chill all the ingredients beforehand or blend in a few ice cubes.
Bartender tips
Wrinkled passion fruits are the ripest and most aromatic.
Keep the coconut water in the fridge overnight for the best chill.
Variations
Creamy version
Replace the coconut water with coconut milk for a richer drink.
