Taste
Tangy and cool, with strawberry sweetness, a minty finish and a light, juicy body.
About this smoothie
Here the fruity pairing of strawberry and passion fruit gets a herbal lift from fresh mint. Mint is strong, so a few leaves are enough to cool the finish without turning the drink into toothpaste. The baby spinach contributes colour and a mild, leafy note; it is a common, gentle way to add some greens to your day.
With only water as the liquid, the smoothie is light and thirst-quenching, a good choice for hot days or after exercise.
Bartender tips
Add the mint leaf by leaf and taste: too much quickly dominates.
Use a few ice cubes or frozen strawberries on very hot days.
Variations
Lime and mint
Add 1 tbsp lime juice for a sharper, mojito-like freshness.
Frequently asked questions
Is the mint necessary?
No, but it gives the smoothie its cooling character. Without it, you have a classic strawberry passion fruit smoothie.
Is this smoothie vegan?
Yes, it contains only fruit, leaves and water.
Can I prepare it in advance?
Blend it fresh: mint and spinach lose colour and aroma within a few hours.
