Banana Passion Fruit Smoothie
Ripe banana brings a silky body that softens the tart punch of passion fruit and orange juice. It works wonderfully for slow weekend brunches or a sunny afternoon with friends in the garden. Drop half a fresh passion fruit right on top before serving with a wide straw.
To make Banana Passion Fruit Smoothie in a slush machine, blend banana, passion fruit juice, orange juice, pour the mix into the machine and run the Slush / Frozen Drink program for about 20–25 minutes. This Frozen Smoothies recipe makes a full 2.4-litre batch — about 8–10 glasses — ready to serve straight from the tap.

Instructions
Step 1
Blend the fruit and any fresh herbs with the liquid ingredients until completely smooth, then strain through a fine sieve to remove seeds, skins and fibres — solids will clog a slush machine.
Step 2
Pour the strained mixture into the machine's container — do not add ice cubes, the machine freezes the liquid itself.
Step 3
Select the Slush / Frozen Drink program and let it run until it reaches a smooth, scoopable slush consistency.
Step 4
Serve straight away for the best texture.
Freeze timer
Freeze times vary with starting temperature — check at the first beep and give it 5 more minutes if it's still loose.
No slush machine? Add about 1 kg (8 cups) of ice and blend in batches until smooth.
Quick answers
How long does Banana Passion Fruit Smoothie take in a slush machine?
About 20–25 min on the Slush / Frozen Drink program. Mixing the base takes around 10 minutes — pre-chilled ingredients freeze noticeably faster.
How much does this Banana Passion Fruit Smoothie recipe make?
A full batch is 2.4 litres — about 8–10 glasses. Use the portion switch above for a 1-litre half batch or the exact amount per glass.
Is Banana Passion Fruit Smoothie alcohol-free?
Yes — this recipe contains no alcohol, so it works for kids, parties and designated drivers alike.
Can I make Banana Passion Fruit Smoothie without a slush machine?
Yes. Mix the same ingredients, add about 1 kg of ice and blend in batches until smooth. The texture is a little icier than from a machine, so serve it straight away.
Why won't my Banana Passion Fruit Smoothie freeze?
Almost always too much sugar or alcohol — or warm ingredients. A slush sets at roughly 120–160 g sugar per litre and under ~10% alcohol. Stick to the amounts above, chill everything first, and check your own tweaks in the will-it-freeze calculator.
