The thing is about our sunny guavas smoothie is that you’ve got to try it for yourself, because there’s not really anything like it. Sweet but less-so than a mango or a banana, it’s tropical but also familiar, as guava tastes kinda like a cross between a pineapple and a strawberry. Obviously, the star of this smoothie is guava, but you also get banana, dates, passion fruit, carrot and apple in every packet.

If you’re new to guava, this mocktail is one of our favorite recipes. It’s a sure-fire way to impress your friends, but we also like to whip it up on weekdays when we could do with transporting to a tropical paradise. In our opinion, guava deserves a bit more hype. Not only is it delicious, it’s also rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, potassium and fiber.

For this super simple cocktail, we really let the guava flavor shine, the only other ingredients are lime and mint. Top the whole thing off with some sparkling water and you’ll practically feel the sun on your back as you sip it.

This recipe takes just 1 minute to prepare and 3 minutes of total time.
