What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Freeze the soursop pulp in ice cube trays for an even thicker, frostier smoothie without watering it down.
- 2If fresh soursop is unavailable, use frozen soursop pulp (thawed slightly) and reduce ice by half.
- 3For a dairy-free version, swap whole milk for full-fat coconut milk to keep the creamy richness.
- 4Run the blender for a full 60 seconds to fully break down the soursop fibers for a silky texture.
- 5Taste before adding extra honey — a ripe banana and sweet soursop often provide enough natural sweetness.
- 6This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately; if storing, shake or re-blend before drinking as separation is natural.
