Coconut and passion fruit are made for each other: the creamy coconut takes the edge off the tangy fruit, and together they taste like a beach holiday. The spinach just adds colour.

Spinach Passion Fruit Smoothie with Coconut Milk
Taste
Creamy coconut with tangy, perfumed passion fruit and a smooth, slightly thick texture.
About this smoothie
This smoothie uses coconut milk drink from the carton, which is thinner and lighter than canned coconut milk. Passion fruit brings plenty of acidity and aroma, so the creamy coconut is a natural balance. Baby spinach adds a pale green colour without much flavour of its own.
Chia seeds make the texture a little thicker and add some fibre. The smoothie is creamy but not heavy, good for breakfast or as a sweet snack.
Bartender tips
If you only have canned coconut milk, use 60 ml and top up with water.
Add half a banana for more sweetness and body.
Variations
With mango
Add 80 g mango for a sweeter, even more tropical smoothie.
Frequently asked questions
Is it vegan?
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Can I use canned coconut milk?
Yes, but dilute it: about one part coconut milk to two parts water.
Can I prepare it the night before?
Yes, in a closed jar in the fridge. The chia thickens it, so stir in a splash of water.
