Description

The Guava Sunrise Smoothie is a tropical, refreshing, and nutrient-packed drink that blends sweet guava with creamy banana, tangy orange, and a hint of honey. Its beautiful pink-orange hue makes it feel like a sunrise in a glass—perfect for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or a healthy afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients For Guava Sunrise Smoothie Recipe

• 2 ripe guavas (peeled, deseeded, and chopped)

• 1 banana (fresh or frozen)

• ½ cup orange juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free option)

• 1 tbsp honey or agave (optional, depending on sweetness of fruit)

• ½ cup ice cubes

• ¼ cup water (adjust for consistency)

Instructions

1. Prepare the guavas by peeling and removing seeds (optional if you prefer smooth texture).

2. Add guava, banana, orange juice, yogurt, honey, and ice cubes into a blender.

3. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.

4. Adjust consistency by adding water if too thick.

5. Pour into a tall chilled glass and serve immediately.

Notes

• If guavas are very ripe and sweet, you can skip honey.

• For a vegan smoothie, replace Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt.

• Strain the smoothie after blending if you prefer a pulp-free texture.

• Frozen banana gives a creamier consistency.
