This healthy passion fruit smoothie is a taste of the tropics, yet super-simple to prepare. Although it’s a fairly exotic fruit, passion fruit is in season throughout the winter, which is the best time to nab it at a lower price.
In this article – we share a delicious 3-ingredient passion fruit smoothie that’s healthy and easy to prepare.
Passion fruit is one of those ingredients that we often avoided in the Blendery Kitchen, since we weren’t quite sure it would work in smoothies. See it doesn’t really have that much juicy flesh, which is crucial for a decent smoothie. And surely those annoying seeds wouldn’t blend well and result in a dodgy texture…
But after trying a passion fruit smoothie at Ladybug, a health-food cafe in Shanghai, we were totally convinced. It turns out that what passion fruit lacks in substance, it more than makes up for in flavour. So we started to experiment and simplify, until we’d created our own 3-ingredient recipe…
Passion Fruit Smoothie Nutrition
Passion fruit is in season between November and March, making it a great source of seasonal nutrition throughout the winter.
A single fruit contains just 17 calories, yet provides a decent amount of vitamin C, vitamin A, and dietary fibre. These nutrients support your immune system, healthy vision, and efficient digestion.
