Soursop Ginger Immune Smoothie
A creamy blend of soursop pulp, banana, and fresh ginger with almond milk and lime for a bright, dairy-free tropical smoothie.
Soursop, also known as guanabana, has a custardy texture and a flavor that lands somewhere between pineapple and strawberry — it's the kind of fruit that barely needs help to taste good in a smoothie. Blended with banana for body and a knob of fresh ginger for a little warmth and bite, it turns into something thick and genuinely refreshing.
Because it's built entirely on plant-based ingredients — almond milk instead of dairy, no added protein powders or fillers — this smoothie is naturally vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free. The fresh ginger and lime bring a boost of vitamin C and a bit of warming spice, which is why we've flagged it as a good pick when you're leaning into immune-supportive foods, without claiming it does anything more than contribute good nutrition to your day.
Ingredients
- 1 cup soursop (guanabana) pulp, seeded
- 1 banana
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp lime juice
