Mango Papaya Smoothie with Fruit Tea
Taste
Thick, smooth and sweet with rich mango, mellow papaya and a light, tart tea note.
About this smoothie
Mango is one of the most popular smoothie fruits: its soft, fibrous flesh blends into a naturally thick, creamy texture, and it is rich in vitamin C and beta carotene. Papaya adds a soft, buttery texture and a mild, musky sweetness; it also provides vitamin C. Cooled fruit tea replaces water here and adds fruity aroma and a gentle tartness without any sugar. The result is a thick, deep orange tropical smoothie, lovely for breakfast or as a sweet snack.
Bartender tips
A squeeze of lime juice balances the sweetness and lifts the papaya flavour.
Ripe papaya has yellow orange skin and yields slightly to pressure.
Variations
With coconut water
Use coconut water instead of fruit tea for an even more tropical version.
