Smoothie Variations & Recipe Notes
One of the things I love about this smoothie is how easily it can be customized.
Whether you prefer a different fruit combination or love to add extra nutrients, there are multiple ways to customize it to your liking.
Some of the tested variations of this smoothie that I could offer include:
- Double Berry Smoothie: If you love berries, swap the pineapple in the recipe for another type of berry, such as raspberries or blackberries.
- Lighter Version: Coconut milk can be quite heavy, try using coconut water instead.
- Green Infusion: Throw in a handful of greens for a nutrient boost. I tested spinach, and loved it in this smoothie!
- Nutty Flavor: You can either swap the chia seeds for nut butter or add nut butter as an extra ingredient. I tested cashew butter and peanut butter. I preferred the cashew butter better.
- Protein Boost: You can add 1/2 cup of yogurt or a scoop of protein powder.

To make it work with the Oster blender which isn’t compatible with my recipe, you can make it work by adding 1/3 cup extra coconut milk.
Oster blender struggled to make a thick smoothie like mine came out. It required a bit more liquid.
Recipe FAQs:
Can I Use Yogurt Instead Of Coconut Milk?
You can use yogurt instead of coconut milk, but it will make the smoothie very thick, and you will need a powerful blender. You can easily thin the smoothie down by adding a couple of tablespoons of water. Blend, taste and adjust as needed.
Is This Passionfruit Smoothie Good For Weight Loss?
I have not personally tested this smoothie for weight loss purposes. However, whenever I consumed the smoothie, it filled me for a couple of hours. Satiety is an important factor for weight loss. So, it could help with weight loss in that regards.
Can I Use Passionfruit Juice Instead Of Fresh Passionfruit?
Yes, you could swap the fresh passionfruit and use a cup of passionfruit juice instead of the coconut milk. If you use the 2 liquids, the smoothie will be too thin.
