Ingredients

  • 1 ripe passion fruit (pulp + seeds)
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 scoop vanilla plant protein (pea or clean blend)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened, unsulfured coconut flakes
  • 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
  • Tiny pinch sea salt
  • Handful of ice
  • Optional: 3–5 drops liquid stevia (if you want it sweeter)

Instructions

  1. Add passion fruit pulp + seeds and avocado to a blender.
  2. Pour in almond milk.
  3. Add protein, chia, coconut flakes, cinnamon, salt, and stevia (optional).
  4. Blend 35–45 seconds until silky smooth.
  5. Let sit 60 seconds to thicken (chia does its thing).
  6. Quick re-blend and serve ice-cold.

Options & Upgrades (Choose Your Weapon)

1) Creamier + More Filling

  • Add 1–2 tbsp unsweetened coconut yogurt (if you have it).
  • Or add 1 tbsp almond butter for a richer, nutty finish.

2) Extra Metabolic Support

  • Add 1 tsp MCT oil (pairs perfectly with the coconut flavor).
  • Add 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a dessert-like taste.

3) Brighter Tropical Bite

  • Add a squeeze of lime (makes the passion fruit pop).

4) Thicker “Smoothie Bowl” Style

  • Use less almond milk (start with 2/3 cup) and more ice.
  • Let it sit 2 minutes before serving to thicken further.

Why This Is Blood Sugar-Friendly

This smoothie is designed around a simple principle: fiber + fat + protein = stable energy. More recipes and strategies live in the Blood Sugar Reset Hub.

Ingredient Benefits (Quick, Useful, No Fluff)

  • Passion fruit (pulp + seeds): fiber-forward and naturally tart, seeds add crunch and help slow digestion for a steadier glucose curve.
  • Avocado: rich in monounsaturated fats and fiber, supports satiety and helps blunt the blood sugar response of everything else in the blender.
  • Unsweetened almond milk: low sugar base that keeps total carbs down without wrecking taste.
  • Plant protein: increases fullness and helps flatten post-meal glucose spikes by slowing absorption.
  • Chia seeds: form a gel-like fiber matrix that slows digestion and supports smoother energy.
  • Unsweetened coconut flakes: adds coconut flavor plus fat + fiber for a more stable, sustained fuel feel.
  • Ceylon cinnamon: commonly used to support healthy glucose metabolism and adds natural sweetness without sugar.
  • Sea salt (tiny pinch): enhances flavor and can help the smoothie taste “complete,” not flat.
  • MCT oil (optional): fast-usable fat energy that can make the smoothie more satisfying with minimal glucose impact.
  • Lime (optional): brightens flavor, helps you need less sweetener.
  • Stevia (optional): adds sweetness without sugar, useful if your passion fruit is extra tart.
