Whole oranges make this smoothie juicy and fresh, papaya gives it a soft, almost creamy body. A few mint leaves add a cool finish.

Juicy and citrusy with the mellow sweetness of papaya and a cool mint finish.
Blending whole peeled oranges instead of pressing them keeps more of the fruit, including fibre from the membranes. Oranges are well known for their vitamin C. Ripe papaya has a mild, sweet, slightly musky taste and a very soft texture, which makes the smoothie thicker without banana. The mint lifts everything with a cool, herbal note. A good glass for breakfast or a warm afternoon.
The skin turns mostly yellow and yields slightly to gentle pressure, like a ripe avocado.
