What is Passion Fruit?

Passion fruit is a tropical fruit that is indigenous to South America, particularly Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. Find it in the frozen section of your local grocery store. For fresh passion fruit, visit an international market.

Health Benefits of Passion Fruit

• Low in calories and rich in fiber, passion fruit is great for weight loss. Eating this helps you feel full for longer.
• A great source of fiber, which improves digestion and controls blood sugar levels.
• reduces inflammation
• Contains Vitamin C, an antioxidant that boosts the immune system.
• They are used as a mild sedative due to their calming effect. So this is best enjoyed when relaxing or before bed to fight insomnia.
• Improves insulin sensitivity, which can reduce the risk of diseases like diabetes.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• Non-Dairy Milk: Coconut milk or oat milk works best but you can use almond milk, soy milk, or whatever milk alternative you prefer.
• Passion fruit: We only use the pulp (about ½ cup).
• Frozen Strawberries: Use frozen so the passion fruit smoothie is thick enough.
• Honey: Use this as a natural sweetener. Can sub agave for vegan version.

Tips To Nail the Recipe

• Passion fruit is ripe when the exterior is wrinkly and firm to the touch (not too soft or too hard). If the skin is green and the fruit feels lightweight, then it’s not quite ready yet.
• If you want to remove the seeds, use a wire mesh sieve or strainer. However, it is totally okay to consume the seeds. They are small with a slight crunch.
• Use frozen strawberries so you don’t have to add ice to the blender and risk watering down the smoothie.

Variations

• Other Fruits: Instead of strawberries, combine passion fruit with tropical fruits like mangoes, pineapple, raspberries, or bananas. 
• Vegan: Replace honey with agave for a vegan alternative.
• Passion Fruit Smoothie with Milk: You can use regular milk or low-fat greek yogurt for creaminess. 
• Another Liquid: Swap milk and a sweetener for fresh lime juice or orange juice for a super sweet smoothie.

Storage

Store the leftover passion fruit smoothie in an airtight container (preferably a mason jar or the blender itself) in the fridge for up to 2 days. You may need to add a bit of ice and reblend when you are ready to drink it.
