Async function returns a pending promise even though "await" is present

Question

I was following an async/await tutorial. Even though I'm copying the code 1:1, it doesn't work as intended.

Here's a function, it accepts a fruit name as a parameter and returns a number accordingly. It's asynchronous, so it should return a promise.

const getFruit = async(name) => {
const fruits = {
    pineapple: 1,
    apple: 2,
    strawberry: 3
}

    return fruits[name]
}

Works as intended, doing getFruit("apple").then(result => console.log(result)) returns 2.

Afterwards, I have the second function that runs the getFruit function twice to get two numbers, awaits the results and then combines them. In theory.

const makeSmoothie = async() => {
    const a = await getFruit("apple")
    const b = await getFruit("strawberry")
    const smoothie = [a, b]

    return smoothie
}

But in reality, console.log(makeSmoothie()) then returns a Promise { <pending> }. Why?

Also, I'm aware that I'm actually unnecessarily preventing the script from getting the value b until a is retrieved. It just looks simpler this way. Assigning both values and then doing const smoothie = await Promise.all([a, b]) doesn't work, either. Same results.
