Brazilian Mango Passion Fruit Smoothie
This delicious Brazilian mango passion fruit smoothie is the perfect breakfast or snack option. It’s easy to make, tastes incredibly good, and is packed with essential vitamins.
About the Recipe
In Brazil, tropical fruits are a staple in most breakfasts. While some people simply eat the fruit, my mom used to make breakfast smoothies for my sister and me to ensure we got all the necessary vitamins and fibers. This recipe combines passion fruit, fresh mango, coconut milk, lime juice, and honey. The tartness of the passion fruit complements the sweetness of the mango, while the lime juice adds a refreshing brightness. It truly feels like a taste of Brazil in every sip!
Ingredients and Pairings
Passion fruit pairs well with other tropical fruits like mango, papaya, orange, and watermelon. In this recipe, mango was chosen for its sweetness and citrusy flavor. Coconut milk was added for creaminess, but you can use almond milk as a substitute. Feel free to customize the recipe with ingredients like Greek yogurt, chia seeds, or oats to suit your taste preferences.
Tips for Preparation
To ensure the perfect balance of flavors, make sure to adjust the sweetener amount based on the natural sweetness of the mangoes. Passion fruit pulp quantity is measured in grams/cups, not in fruit numbers. If fresh passion fruit is not available, unsweetened pulp concentrate works well too. Ripe passion fruit should have a deep yellow or purple color and a firm texture.
How to Make Mango Passion Fruit Smoothie
Simply blend fresh mango slices, passion fruit concentrate, coconut milk, lemon juice, and honey until smooth. Add ice cubes for a slushy consistency if desired. Pour the smoothie into mason jar cups and enjoy this delicious tropical treat!
