Sweet papaya hides the spinach almost completely, so this green smoothie tastes mainly of tropical fruit. Only the olive green colour gives the leaves away.
200 g
papaya peeled, seeds removed
15 g

¼ oz
lime juice (optional)
5 oz
water

Sweet and tropical with honeyed papaya and a faint, mild green note.
Papaya is soft, sweet and very easy to blend, which makes it a good base for green smoothies. It is known for its vitamin C. Baby spinach adds vitamin K and folate while staying mild in flavour. The orange of the papaya and the green of the spinach mix to an olive tone, which is normal.
The smoothie is vegan and light, a good first step into green smoothies. A squeeze of lime keeps the flavour fresh.
Barely; the papaya dominates.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Orange papaya and green spinach mix to an olive tone; it does not affect the taste.
