8 Soursop Smoothie Recipes | Herbal Goodness
When it comes to recipes, soursop, also known as graviola or guanabana (some call it thorny mango or thorny custard apple), is a lot likes its close cousin, the papaya.
It is a surprisingly versatile fruit that can be used to make anything from juices to smoothies, as well as serving as a healthy base for other recipes – dessert, cake, pie, you name it.
Today, we will restrict this discussion to smoothies as the aim of this post is to share soursop smoothie recipes to help you unlock the full power of this incredible tropical fruit.
Before we dive in, it’s good to note the most ideal soursop for whipping up smoothies is one that is turning lightly yellow on its rough exterior. The fruit should give in a wee bit when you give it a little squeeze.
As well, soursop used for smoothies should be seeded first before combining with the other ingredients.

We know, soursop fruit can be hard to come by in some places, especially when you need them on a regular for family smoothie recipes. Plus, buying them in bulk can be an expensive affair sometimes.
A workaround to this is to use graviola fruit powder or graviola leaf tea which is certain to stretch longer than regular fruit will. However, it is always good to insist on organic, non-GMO and source your supplies from a reliable source.
Luckily, we have you covered on this front.
You can use our Organic Graviola Leaf Tea, Graviola Fruit Powder, or Graviola Leaf Liquid Extract to whip up some great-tasting soursop smoothies without the hassle associated with sourcing fresh, organic fruit.
