02 -
  • Guava flesh oxidizes and turns brownish quickly after cutting, so blend immediately after preparing to maintain that beautiful pink color.
  • If your guavas are underripe, the smoothie can taste astringent and tart, so always check for that characteristic floral aroma before using.

  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving brightens everything and cuts through the richness.
