Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen guava chunks
- 1 cup frozen passionfruit pulp (seeds strained if preferred)
- 1 cup liquid (coconut water or filtered water)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp agave nectar or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 0.5 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- 1
Combine the frozen guava chunks, frozen passionfruit pulp, coconut water (or filtered water), chia seeds, and pure vanilla extract in a high-speed blender. Ensure all ingredients are added for a balanced flavor profile.
- 2
Secure the lid and blend on a low setting for about 30 seconds to begin breaking down the frozen fruit, then increase to high speed and blend for approximately 1.5 to 2 minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and has a creamy, uniform consistency. Listen for the blender to sound consistent, indicating all large chunks are processed.
- 3
Carefully taste the juice and add agave nectar or maple syrup if a sweeter profile is desired. Blend for another 15-20 seconds to fully incorporate the sweetener, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- 4
Add the ice cubes to the blender and pulse a few times, or blend on low for about 30 seconds, just until the ice is incorporated and the juice reaches your desired chilled temperature. Avoid over-blending at this stage to maintain a refreshing, not watery, consistency.
- 5
Pour the vibrant guava passionfruit juice into chilled glasses and serve immediately to enjoy its peak freshness and delightful tropical flavors.

Tips & Notes
- Toast desiccated coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring, for a deeper flavor.
- Refrigerate maple syrup after opening and use within a year.
- Pure vanilla extract (not imitation) gives a much more complex, rounded flavor — worth the cost in simple recipes.
