Method

You’ll need: blender · chopping board · knife · sieve

3. Wash the passion fruits, halve them and scoop out the pulp with a spoon.
4. Put the mango, orange juice, passion fruit pulp and ice cubes in a blender and blend briefly and vigorously until the juice is cold and smooth. Blend for longer if you want the seeds finer.

7. Pour the juice into glasses and serve straight away with a few ice cubes.

Good to know

A glass like this tastes of sunshine and a bit of holiday. The fresh acidity makes it lively without being complicated.

Swaps

Passion fruits → fresh orange + a little lemon juice (more juice, plenty of vitamin C, usually milder and easier to find) Ice cubes → frozen mango cubes (chill without watering down, provide fibre and natural fruit flavour) Ice cubes → chilled coconut water frozen into ice cubes (chills without diluting the flavour as much; provides electrolytes) Passion fruits → unsweetened sea buckthorn purée, used sparingly (a lot of vitamin C, an intensely fruity, tart note)

Allergens

Passion fruit is not one of the major allergens, but in rare cases it can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people; in normal amounts it is generally suitable for children and during pregnancy, as long as you get on with it.

Frequently asked questions

Does passion fruit contain a lot of vitamin C?

Passion fruit provides vitamin C, though usually not as much as some citrus fruits for the same amount. For a fruit drink, it is still a relevant source.

Are passion fruit seeds edible?

Yes, the seeds are edible. They add crunch, a little fibre and small amounts of unsaturated fats.

Is passion fruit OK if you have a sensitive stomach?

That's individual. The natural acidity can feel intense to sensitive people, especially on an empty stomach.

Which minerals are in passion fruit?

Passion fruit contains moderate amounts of potassium, among other things. On top of that come smaller amounts of other minerals such as magnesium and iron.

Do passion fruits provide relevant fibre in a drink too?

Yes, especially if the pulp and some of the seeds go into it. If you sieve the juice a lot, though, less of it remains.
