Method

How to Make It

Step 01
Scoop the passion fruit

Halve all passion fruits and scoop the pulp and seeds into a sieve over a bowl. Press through the sieve with a spoon to extract the juice, leaving seeds behind. Reserve 1 tbsp of seeds for garnish โ€” they are edible and beautiful.

Step 02
Blend smooth

Add passion fruit juice, orange juice, frozen banana, frozen mango, and ice to the blender. Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth and light in colour.

Step 03
Balance the flavour

Taste before adding honey. Passion fruit is naturally very tart โ€” the amount of honey needed depends entirely on the ripeness of your fruit. Add 1 tbsp, blend, taste, repeat.

Step 04
Serve dramatically

Pour into tall, clear glasses to show the golden colour. Top with reserved passion fruit seeds, a slice of orange, and a sprig of mint. The seeds on top signal to the drinker: this is the real thing.

๐ŸŒ
Native to Brazil

Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) originates from subtropical South America. Brazil remains the world's largest producer.

๐Ÿ’Š
Rich in Vitamin C

One passion fruit contains 30% of your daily vitamin C. Despite their small size, they are nutritionally extremely dense.

๐Ÿ˜ด
Natural Sedative

Passion fruit contains harman compounds that have mild sedative and anxiety-reducing effects. The name is not accidental.

๐ŸŒธ
The Flower

Passion fruit gets its name from Spanish missionaries who saw the flower's structure as a symbol of the Passion of Christ.
