Silky papaya and tart kiwi make a light tropical base, and a spoon of chia seeds turns it into something more substantial after a short rest.
150 g
papaya peeled, seeded
1
kiwi peeled
1 tbsp
chia seeds
5 oz
water
Garnish: None · Ice: Served up, no ice
Silky and tropical with a tangy kiwi note; thickens slightly as the chia swells.
Papaya is soft and mildly sweet, and kiwi adds a lively acidity; both fruits are good sources of vitamin C. Chia seeds absorb liquid and thicken the smoothie, and they contain fibre and omega-3 fatty acids. With water as the only liquid, the smoothie stays light while the chia makes it more filling. It is a good option for breakfast, especially if you prefer a drink you could almost eat with a spoon.
The skin turns mostly yellow to orange and the fruit gives slightly under pressure.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, the smoothie will simply be thinner and lighter.
