About this smoothie
This version leans on apple: a whole fresh apple plus a splash of juice give a clear, familiar flavour, with papaya adding creaminess and a gentle tropical note. It is a good choice for children or for anyone trying papaya for the first time.
Papaya is known to contain vitamin C. Choose a naturally cloudy apple juice for more flavour. The smoothie fits breakfast or an afternoon snack.
Bartender tips
Cloudy apple juice has more flavour than clear juice.
A squeeze of lime brings out the papaya aroma.
Variations
