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

Less sweet
Replace the apple juice with water and add a squeeze of lime.
