Instructions

  • Measure out the quantities of fruit you need. The recipe is easy to scale, so feel free to halve, double, or triple it depending on how many servings you want.
  • Add all the ingredients to a blender, saving one mint sprig for garnish. If you’re scaling up the recipe, you may need to blend in batches depending on the size of your blender.
  • Blend the ingredients together until completely smooth.
  • Pour your smoothie into a glass, using a spatula to scrape down the sides of the blender so you don’t waste any.
  • Top the smoothie with a generous sprig of mint, then serve immediately.

Notes

Yuzu juice

Use 100% pure yuzu juice with no additives. A little goes a long way, so start with less and add more to taste as it's quite intense.

Frozen fruit

Using frozen mango and pineapple means no ice needed and gives a thicker, creamier texture. Fresh fruit works but add a handful of ice cubes to compensate.

Blending

Blend on high for at least 30 seconds for a completely smooth consistency. If your blender struggles with frozen fruit, let it sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly before blending.

Sweetness

Taste before serving. If the yuzu makes it too tart, add a teaspoon of agave syrup or maple syrup to balance.

Serving

Best served immediately while cold. If making ahead, store in the fridge for up to 24 hours and give it a good shake or stir before drinking.
