This recipe is from the California Avocado Commission. I added this because I love avocados and blueberries, but even I must admit this seems like a very strange pairing.

Passion fruit smoothies are usually hard to find, but this recipe really embraces, pun intended, the passion fruit with 2 pieces of the fruit.

  • 1 peach
  • 2 passionfruit
  • 150ml (5fl oz) freshly squeezed orange juice

Super Sweet Strawberry Smoothie

You can feel the sweetness just by reading the 1/2 cup sugar in the ingredients. Maybe trying a quarter cup will just make this sweet and not super sweet.

Super Sweet Strawberry Smoothie Ingredients:

  • 1 strawberry/mango yogurt (any kind will do)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, cut up (or you can use any kind of fruit that’s in the yogurt you desire)
  • 1⁄2 cup of sugar
  • 1 cup chopped ice cubes

Combine the strawberries (or any kind of fruit) and sugar in the blender and mix on second speed into a liquid. Add the yogurt and blend until mixed thoroughly. Add the ice a little at a time until it’s completely mixed. Enjoy and how could you not. It is full of sugar!
