The smoothie is not traditionally tied to specific holidays but is a staple at family gatherings, fiestas, and beach outings.

During festive seasons, like Christmas and New Year, some households may serve Guyabano smoothies, offering a unique flavor profile to complement traditional dishes.

It’s also common at street food stalls and cafes, particularly in urban and tourist areas.

What is Guyabano Smoothie?

A Guyabano smoothie is a creamy and refreshing drink made from the pulp of the guyabano fruit, also known as soursop.

Soursop fruit grows abundantly in tropical regions and is such an easy fruit tree to grow because it requires very minimal attention. The guyabano fruit tastes sour like that of a strawberry but has a milky flavor.

The guyabano shake is loved not only for their tropical taste but also for their health benefits, as the fruit is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber.

Guyabano/Sourop Health Benefits

• A good source of antioxidants
• Anti-inflammatory
• Can help stabilize blood sugar levels
• Source of dietary fiber
• Has a significant amount of vitamin C

Variations

• Spiced - Sweeten with maple syrup or honey if needed, and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top before serving.
• Berry Bliss - Serve chilled and garnish with a few fresh berries.
• Coffee - Blend guyabano, coffee, oat milk, and ice until smooth.

Substitutions

• Frozen Banana - avocado for the creaminess without the sweetness, or papaya for a mild sweetness and smooth texture.
• Ice Cubes - any frozen fruit like berries, mango or pineapple can work!
• Soy Milk - for a nutty, dairy-free alternative, use almond milk. But to enhance tropical flavors and adds creaminess, use coconut milk.
• Chia seeds - sunflower seeds or flaxseeds can be good for alternatives

Storage

• Refrigerator: Transfer to an airtight jar or bottle and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before serving as separation may occur.
• Freezer: Pour into an airtight container, leaving some space for expansion, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator and blend again for best consistency.

Ingredients

These are the ingredients that you will need (omitting quantities):

• frozen banana
• ice cubes

• soy milk
• chia seeds

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Peel the guyabano, remove the seeds, and scoop out 1½ cups of the fruit's meat. Add it to a blender.

Add the frozen banana cuts, ice cubes, and soy milk to the blender with the guyabano.

Blend until creamy and smooth. Then pour into cups.

Garnish with chia seeds, and best serve immediately.

Hint: You can freeze this smoothie and make it into a guyabano ice cream, too!

⭐ Top Tip

Remove the guyabano seeds prior to freezing them - it saves you a lot of time.

Don't forget to keep your guyabano pulp or chunks in the freezer when you're not using it. They tend to change in color because of the reaction it has when exposed to air.
