Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Using chilled guava juice ensures your smoothie stays frosty even before blending. If you want an even thicker texture, try freezing your banana slices ahead of time. A high-speed blender will ensure the frozen fruit is pulverized into a silky consistency.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegan-friendly version, simply use plant-based yogurt and replace the honey with maple syrup or agave. You can also experiment with different fruit combinations—papaya and mango pair beautifully with guava. For an added nutritional boost, consider stirring in a tablespoon of chia seeds or a handful of fresh spinach.
