About this smoothie
Passion fruit pulp is sharp, fragrant and full of small edible seeds that add a pleasant crunch. Together with pineapple, which is sweet, tangy and a good source of vitamin C, it creates a bright tropical flavour. Coconut milk rounds everything off and softens the acidity.
This smoothie works well at breakfast or as a refreshing glass on a hot day. Choose a wrinkled passion fruit: the wrinkles are a sign of ripeness.
Bartender tips
Blend the passion fruit only briefly at the end if you want to keep the seeds whole.
Frozen pineapple makes the drink thick and cold without diluting it.
Variations
Extra creamy
Add 2 tablespoons of coconut yogurt for a thicker texture.
