Jackfruit Smoothie (Sinh To Mit)

This Jackfruit Smoothie recipe is my favorite way to enjoy jackfruit because it’s so refreshing. The recipe is super simple and can be easily adapted to suit your tastes. When making the smoothie, use a dairy base of your choice. I love plain yogurt but feel free to use a flavored yogurt, sorbet or even ice cream. For a sweetener, I like honey but you can use sugar, a sugar substitute or skip the sugar all together if the fruit is sweet enough. There are lots of great options so experiment to find the combination you love.

Notes on the Jackfruit Smoothie (Sinh To Mit) Recipe, Tips and Tricks

Looking at a jackfruit you may not find this over-sized melon-shaped fruit with prickly green skin remotely appetizing. Surprisingly, when you open this tropical fruit and work through the sticky, fibrous tentacles, you’ll find golden nuggets of succulent fruit inside. The taste can be described as a cross between apples, bananas and pineapple and can be syrupy sweet. It is a heady, heavenly combination and once you get a taste, you’ll love it!

A jackfruit can weigh up to 80 pounds. The ones sold at the Asian grocery store are between 15-20 pounds.

When jackfruit is in season (during the summer months), you can buy it at the Asian grocery stores for as low as $.99 per pound. (An average jackfruit weights about 15-20 pounds.) It’s during this time that I buy jackfruit, extract the fruit and then freeze most of it to enjoy in the later months.
