When I think about our Passion Berry Breakfast Smoothie, a surge of fond memories washes over me. The delightfully refreshing blend of mixed berries, creamy bananas, tangy Greek yogurt, and exotic touch of passion fruit pulp is reminiscent of the beloved morning routine in my Californian home. This is a recipe that marries the West Coast’s love for fresh produce with a hint of sweetness from honey – a common delight in my Gujarati heritage. 
Health Benefits Galore
The Passion Berry Breakfast Smoothie isn’t just a delight for the tastebuds. It’s also bursting with health benefits. The mixed berries provide a hearty amount of antioxidants, vital for fighting off free radicals in our bodies. Combine that with the immunological support from Greek yogurt’s probiotics and you’ve got a fantastic start to your day. Not to mention the bananas, a natural provider of potassium, and honey with its antibacterial properties. Healthy eating never tasted so good.
A Fusion of Flavors
This breakfast creation is my unique take on traditional breakfast smoothies and the more tropical inspired smoothies often found in the Gujarati culture. The Passion Berry Breakfast Smoothie can be paired exceptionally well with light breakfast favorites like avocado toast or granola bars. It also works as a refreshing accompaniment to spicier Indian breakfast options like Poha or Methi Thepla. Whether you prefer a sweet beginning to your day or a fusion of spicy and sweet, this smoothie recipe aligns itself exuberantly with your palate’s desires.
Over the years, this recipe has become a morning ritual in my home. Faisal, my husband, and our two sons eagerly anticipate this nutritious concoction. Its richness in flavor, health properties, and the cultural elixir it provides makes it a culinary tradition across two continents in our family. I extend this tradition to your home now, inviting you to create your own memories with the Passion Berry Breakfast Smoothie.
What You’ll Need
- 4 cups fresh mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
- 3 ripe bananas
- 2 cups passion fruit pulp
- 2 cups almond milk
- 2 cups Greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 6 ice cubes
Method
Step One
Start by prepping your fruits. Wash all fresh mixed berries thoroughly under cold water. Then peel the bananas and slice them into chunks. Finally, scoop out the pulp of the passion fruits until you get around 2 cups full.
Step Two
Toss the mixed berries, banana chunks, and passion fruit pulp in a blender. Blend them until they form a smooth paste without any lump.
Step Three
Add almond milk, Greek yogurt and honey to the fruit paste in the blender. Almond milk will give a dairy-free creamy base to the smoothie, Greek yogurt will add richness and sweetness will be ensured by honey.
Step Four
Now it’s time to mix up everything. Blend the contents until the mixture becomes thoroughly smooth and creamy.
Step Five
Add in the chia seeds and ice cubes to the smoothie mixture. The chia seeds will add a nutritional boost and the ice cubes will contribute to a chilled smoothie.
Step Six
Give a final blend to all the ingredients for a minute or until the ice cubes are crushed completely into the smoothie.
Step Seven
Pour the smoothie into glasses or bowls and add any additional toppings you like. Your Passion Berry Breakfast Smoothie is ready to be served. Enjoy!
