Sweet and tropical with soft, melon like papaya, fresh orange acidity and creamy banana.
Papaya is a tropical fruit with soft, salmon coloured flesh and a mild, melon like sweetness. It is known for vitamin C and contains papain, an enzyme that is also used to tenderise meat. Freshly squeezed orange juice adds acidity and more vitamin C, and half a banana makes the smoothie thicker and creamier.
This is a light, fruity breakfast smoothie. A squeeze of lime lifts the flavour if your papaya is very sweet.
