Batidos

Fresh Tropical Batidos to Start Your Morning

Published October 1, 2026 · Jaco Beach Chef

If you haven't had a Costa Rican batido yet, you're in for a treat. It's the local smoothie — fresh tropical fruit blended with water or milk into something cold, bright, and impossibly refreshing after a morning on the beach.

Picked fresh, blended to order

Mango, papaya, pineapple, banana, blackberry — whatever's ripe and best at the market. I blend them to order alongside breakfast, or as an afternoon cooler when the sun is high. Kids love them, and they're an easy, healthy way to enjoy the incredible fruit this country is famous for.

Add batidos to any breakfast or brunch, and let me know your favorite fruit — chances are it grows right here.
