Silky and tropical, tart from the passion fruit with a mild coconut note and fresh basil.
Passion fruit, known in German as Maracuja, has a small amount of very aromatic, tart pulp with crunchy black seeds; it contains vitamin C and fibre. In this smoothie it provides most of the flavour. Avocado makes the texture creamy and adds mostly unsaturated fats, and a splash of coconut milk rounds everything off with a gentle coconut aroma. Because there is no sweet fruit such as banana, a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup can help if you prefer it sweeter.
