1.Slice off the thick outer skin of the raw jackfruit with a sturdy knife.

3.Pick out and discard the seeds, then roughly chop 150g of the flesh into chunks.
4.Rinse the chunks in cold water; drain well.

mix · ~1 min
Adjust the consistency.
Check the smoothie's thickness. If it is too thick, blend in an additional 2-3 tablespoons of chilled water until it reaches a pourable, drinkable consistency.
TIPAdd a little extra coconut milk for an even richer, creamier texture.

Garnish and serve immediately.
Pour the smoothie into two tall glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve right away while it's still thick and frosty.

PRO TIPS

What to keep in mind.

6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.

1
Always freeze the banana for at least 2 hours to achieve a thick, frosty texture without ice.
2
For the smoothest blend, chop the raw green jackfruit into small, even chunks before adding to the blender.
3
If your coconut milk is very thick, shake the can well before measuring to ensure a consistent creaminess.
4
Use a ripe, spotty banana for natural sweetness; it balances the earthy jackfruit perfectly.
5
Taste and adjust the lime juice at the end — a little extra brightens the entire smoothie.
6
Make ahead by freezing the chopped jackfruit, banana slices, and pineapple cubes in a single bag for quick morning blends.
