Instructions

Prepare Your Fruit: If you are using fresh passion fruit, slice them in half and scoop the pulp (seeds and all) into a small bowl. The seeds are edible and add a wonderful crunchy texture. If you have a high-powered blender, they will be mostly pulverized.

Load the Blender Correctly: This is a crucial step for a smooth blend, especially with thick, frozen ingredients. Pour the coconut milk into the blender first. This helps the blades move freely.

Add Fruits and Boosters: Next, add the softest ingredients, followed by the harder, frozen ones. Add the passion fruit pulp, then the frozen mango chunks, frozen mixed berries, and the frozen banana slices. If you’re using them, sprinkle the chia seeds and your optional sweetener on top.

Blend to Perfection: Secure the lid on your blender. Start blending on a low speed to get things moving and break up the larger chunks. Gradually increase the speed to high and blend for 45-60 seconds, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. If your blender has a tamper, use it to push the ingredients down towards the blades. If the mixture is too thick, you can add another splash of coconut milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Taste and Adjust: Once blended, give it a quick taste. If you prefer it sweeter, now is the time to add a little more maple syrup or honey and give it a final, quick pulse.

Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into two large glasses and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors right away.
