Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve the smoothest texture, ensure you thoroughly remove all seeds from the guava flesh before blending. Using a high-speed blender will help incorporate the ice and fruit into a perfectly uniform consistency.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For a dairy-free version, use almond, oat, or soy milk, and skip the yogurt or use a plant-based alternative. To boost the nutrition, you can blend in a handful of spinach; the flavor remains mild even though the color will change.

Serviervorschläge

For a tangy twist, add a fresh squeeze of lime. You can also garnish the rim of each glass with slices of banana or guava to enhance the tropical presentation.

Common Questions

→ Can I make this without dairy?

Yes, substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or soy milk. Skip yogurt or use a plant-based yogurt alternative for the same creamy texture.

→ Do I need to peel guavas before blending?

Absolutely. Peel the guavas and remove all seeds before adding the flesh to your blender. The seeds are hard and can damage blender blades or create an unpleasant texture.

→ How can I make this smoother?

Add the optional yogurt for extra creaminess. Use frozen banana instead of fresh for a thicker, milkshake-like consistency without diluting flavors.

→ What sweetener works best?

Honey or maple syrup both complement the tropical flavors. Start with one teaspoon and adjust to your taste preference since ripe fruits provide natural sweetness.

→ Can I prep this ahead?

Best enjoyed immediately while fresh. However, you can pre-peel and chop guava, slice bananas, and store them in the freezer for quick blending later.
