This guava smoothie recipe is a fruity, refreshing, tropical drink you can enjoy for an easy breakfast or sweet snack. Made with guavas, pineapple, banana, and orange juice this smoothie is the perfect way to rise and shine!
A simple breakfast you can make with pink or white guavas. Naturally sweet and dairy-free, this smoothie is a tasty morning recipe.
When guavas are in season, this is no better way to enjoy them then in a delicious and perfectly sweet smoothie. It will transport you to the tropics with each sip.
Guavas are fantastic little fruits that look like limes. The skin can be eaten when ripe, and the flavor (to me at least!) tastes similar to a kiwi but has the texture of a peach or pear. I really love them, especially blended with mango and banana to make a delicious, thick, and tasty smoothie.

Can I Eat Guava Seeds?
While every part of the guava is edible, the seeds can be tough to chew. They are high in fiber, so they can be great to blend up into a smoothie – but only if you are using a Vitamix or high-speed blender. They also have some great health benefits too!
I kept the seeds in my smoothie, but you can scoop them out if desired.

The Best Blender for Frozen Fruit Smoothies
I’ve owned a lot of blenders, but my high speed blender is definitely the best one I’ve owned. This high-speed blender will blend even the toughest of ingredients (like seeds, frozen fruit, and ice) into pulp.
I prefer using my blender for recipes like this, as it’s much easier to clean. This is definitely one kitchen appliance we use on a daily basis!
How Do I Make A Guava Smoothie?
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, including the fruit, water, and ice. If you have a high speed blender, you can leave the guava seeds in, but if you don’t you can scoop the seeds and discard them, and blend only the fruit and peel.
- Start the blender on low speed and work your way up to high speed and blend for 2 minutes.
- Pour into your favorite glass, and enjoy!
Make This Tropical Smoothie Dairy Free for a Healthy Version
This dairy free guava smoothie recipe is a fantastic breakfast without milk or yogurt. I’m all about making recipes plant-based and dairy free when I can. Dairy-free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. You can achieve total richness and creaminess with some simple swaps.
By building meals around vegan pantry staples and swapping in a few plant-based ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family. I made a list of my 125 favorite vegan pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my plant based recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meatless and dairy free meals for your table.
Frozen Fruit Smoothies For the Win!
I used some frozen fruit for this recipe instead of fresh. I usually buy bananas in bulk, and peel and freeze them before they get too brown, and they are great for smoothies like this! By using freezer ingredients, I can stock up when they are on sale, and use them in all kinds of great dishes. It saves me a trip to the store, and I can have amazing smoothies every day with ingredients I have on hand.
Check out all my recipes that use Freezer Ingredients on The Herbeevore – great for those nights when you want dinner ready fast! And browse my Top 125 Plant-Based Pantry Staples for long-lasting staples that I always keep on hand.

Can I Eat Guava Seeds?
While every part of the guava is edible, the seeds can be tough to chew. They are high in fiber, so they can be great to blend up into a smoothie - but only if you are using a Vitamix or high-speed blender. If you have a high speed blender, you can leave the seeds on the fruit if desired. If you don't have a high speed blender, I would recommend scooping the seeds or the smoothie can become gritty if they are not blended properly.Save on Fresh Groceries & Pantry Staples
