Passion Fruit Basil Smoothie with Rocket
Tangy and intensely tropical, herbal from the basil, with a light peppery edge.
Passion fruit pulp is highly aromatic and quite acidic, which makes it an excellent partner for strong greens like rocket. Basil adds a sweet, peppery herb note that suits tropical fruit. The original recipe used only these three ingredients and water; half a banana is suggested here as an option to give the smoothie more body.
The black seeds can be blended in or strained out, depending on your taste. A refreshing choice for warm days.
