Feijoa, a.k.a. pineapple guava, is a fruit originating from South America that is still today woefully underused in smoothies. Its delicate sweet taste with hints of pineapple, guava and strawberry goes well together with many tropical fruits, but also works on its own. In this recipe, I left other fruits out on purpose to give the feijoa a chance to shine – a decision I did not regret. If you want to add some other fruit to this recipe, add fruits with subtle taste like apples or pears. Avoid bananas, strawberries or other berries, since they easily take over the soft feijoa taste.

My feijoa smoothie recipe is very simple. All you need is four ingredients: feijoa, yogurt, oat bran and honey. The oat bran makes it even healthier and adds fibre, whereas honey makes the smoothie sweeter.

Feijoa: to peel or not to peel?

Most people eat feijoa as is. When you do so, you probably want to peel it or simply scoop the flesh out. The feijoa peel is totally edible. This is the reason why I don’t peel the fruit if I use it in smoothies. The skin might be too acidic for your taste, but you can give it a try and decide for yourself. Why waste the healthy fibres? If you have a powerful blender, the skins will process very well and will be broken into small unnoticeable pieces.
