Strawberry and passion fruit make a lively, aromatic pair, and mint adds a cool edge. A few spinach leaves hide in the red, and coconut oil gives a soft tropical background.

Strawberry Coconut Smoothie with Passion Fruit
Taste
Light and tangy, with sweet strawberry, perfumed passion fruit, cool mint and a hint of coconut.
About this smoothie
This smoothie is light because it uses water as the base, yet it is full of flavour thanks to passion fruit, whose perfumed pulp has a strong sweet and sour taste. Strawberries add sweetness and vitamin C, and a small amount of baby spinach disappears completely behind the red fruit. Mint freshens the finish. The coconut oil adds a subtle coconut note; as it is mostly saturated fat, one teaspoon is enough. A refreshing glass for warm mornings.
Bartender tips
Coconut oil sets when cold; melt it gently and blend it with the room temperature ingredients first, so it does not form small flakes.
Add 1 tsp agave syrup if the strawberries are not fully ripe.
Variations
Creamy version
Replace the water with a coconut drink for a creamier, more tropical glass.
