Papaya is soft and mellow, kiwi sharp and bright. Together they balance each other neatly, and a little spinach turns the orange flesh into an unusual olive green.

Papaya Kiwi Smoothie with Spinach
Soft and tropical, with mellow papaya, a lively kiwi tang and a hint of green.
Papaya has buttery, very soft flesh that blends into a smooth base without any help. Its flavour is mild and musky, which is why it benefits from a tangy partner. Kiwi fits perfectly: it is well known for its high vitamin C content and adds a fresh, acidic note.
Baby spinach brings folate and vitamin K but stays in the background. With water as the base, the smoothie is light and refreshing, good for a tropical-style breakfast or as a cooling drink in the afternoon.
Yes, all ingredients are plant based.
Yes, frozen papaya cubes work well and make it colder and thicker.
Crushed kiwi seeds and long standing can make it slightly bitter. Blend briefly and drink it fresh.
