Juicy and fresh, with tangy orange, soft papaya and a fragrant peach note.
Orange and papaya share a warm colour and complement each other well: the citrus brings freshness and acidity, the papaya softness and a mild, musky sweetness. Both are rich in vitamin C, and papaya also contains carotenoids. The peach adds perfume and makes the texture smoother.
This smoothie is a good start to the day or a refreshing afternoon drink. Blending whole orange segments rather than juice keeps some of the fibre, but remove the white pith carefully, as it tastes bitter.
Yes, it contains only fruit and water.
