Papaya and almond milk make a soft, peach coloured smoothie that is creamy without being heavy. It is a gentle, almost dessert like glass with only two main ingredients.
200 g
papaya peeled, seeds removed
5 oz
almond milk unsweetened
¼ oz
lime juice (optional)
Garnish: No garnish · Ice: Served up, no ice
Creamy and mild with honeyed papaya and a light nutty almond finish.
Ripe papaya is soft and naturally sweet, with a mild, slightly musky aroma. Almond milk adds a light nutty note and turns the fruit purée into a creamy drink. Using plant milk rather than dairy has a practical advantage: papaya enzymes can make dairy based smoothies taste bitter over time.
The smoothie is vegan and suits breakfast or a light dessert. A drop of lime brings out the papaya's aroma.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
It works if you drink it immediately, but papaya enzymes can make it bitter as it stands.
No, almond milk is made from nuts; use oat milk instead.
