Juicy and light with sweet pear, fragrant passion fruit and a delicate coconut finish.
About this smoothie
Pear and passion fruit are an unusual but very harmonious pairing: the mild, juicy pear lets the intense passion fruit aroma shine without being overwhelmed by acidity. Coconut water keeps the smoothie light and naturally contains potassium.
A teaspoon of coconut oil adds a little creaminess and coconut flavour. The smoothie contains no banana or dairy, so it suits anyone looking for a light, plant-based option.
Bartender tips
Blend the coconut oil together with all other ingredients so it does not form flakes in the cold liquid.
Choose a wrinkled passion fruit: the skin shrivels as it ripens and the pulp gets sweeter.
Variations
Creamier version
Add 2 tbsp natural or coconut yogurt for more body.
