Guava Pineapple Smoothie
Why this recipe works
- Ready in minutes: Everything goes straight into the blender, making this a fast, no-cook drink.
- Creamy but fresh: Coconut milk and Greek yoghurt give the smoothie body without dulling the bright fruit.
- Lifted with lime: Lime juice sharpens the sweetness of the guava and pineapple for a cleaner finish.

Ingredient notes
- Use ripe pineapple: Ripe pineapple gives the smoothie a fuller sweetness and softer texture, reducing the need for extra honey.
- Check the guava nectar: Guava nectar drinks vary in sweetness, so taste before adding honey and adjust only if needed.
- Balance with lime: Add the lime gradually if your pineapple is very sharp, or use a little more if the smoothie tastes too sweet.
Texture tips
- Blend thoroughly: A full blend helps break down the pineapple fibres and gives the drink a more even texture.
- Adjust the pour: If the smoothie is too thick, blend in a little more guava nectar until it reaches the consistency you like.
Make-ahead tips
- Best freshly blended: The smoothie has the brightest flavour and iciest texture immediately after blending.
- Refresh before serving: If refrigerated, shake well or blend briefly with a few ice cubes to restore the texture.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the pineapple into chunks. Halve the lime and squeeze the juice.
- Add the guava nectar drink, pineapple, coconut milk, greek yogurt, lime juice, honey (if using) and ice cubes to a blender. Blend until very smooth, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Taste and add a little more honey if you want it sweeter, then blend briefly again. Pour into a glass and serve straight away while it is icy cold.
Recipe notes
Tips
- For the smoothest texture, blend for a full 60 seconds, then let the bubbles settle for 30 seconds before pouring.
- If your blender struggles with ice, crush the ice cubes first by pulsing with a splash of guava nectar drink, then add the remaining ingredients.
Substitutions
- Replace honey with agave syrup for a similar sweetness with a cleaner finish.
- Replace greek yogurt with whole-milk yogurt for a slightly looser, tangier smoothie.
Storage
- Refrigerate up to 1 days
- Best served immediately. If needed, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 day and blend again briefly (or shake very well) before serving, adding a couple of ice cubes to refresh the texture.
