- Watermelon
- Passion Fruit
Optionally, add ginger and ice cubes to maintain consistency in the smoothie. Add mint to garnish or give it an even more refreshing flavor.
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: chop watermelons off their thick skins and half the passion fruit.
Step 2: put the chopped watermelon and the passion fruit pulp in a blender and blend until completely smooth. Ensure that you have cold water because it won't taste all that great anymore if it's too warm.
Step 3: depending on how sweet the watermelon is, you may need to add a tablespoon of your favorite sweeteners like maple syrup, homemade date paste, or agave syrup to keep your drink's sweetness.
Optionally add water to get a thinner texture.

🤔 Using passion fruit
Passion fruits are sweet and tart at the same time. Their flesh is chock-full of oblong seeds that taste like nutty vanilla. This fruit has edible skin with mild toxicity; however, we advise against eating passion fruit skin if it's been sprayed with pesticides or fertilizers (a warning to be extra aware of what you buy.
🫙 Storing
Storing the juice in the fridge for a long time is not recommended because it oxidizes and turns brown quickly. If you need to keep it, make sure you consume it within 24 hours in a large jug and close it.
If you store it, make sure to stir it before serving.
Passion fruit juice on its own can be kept for up to five days when refrigerated, but watermelon can't. That's why, when they are together in a recipe, you should try to consume it early.
