Papaya Smoothie with Mint Tea
Creamy and mild with musky papaya, sweet banana and a clear, cooling mint finish.
Papaya has a soft, almost buttery flesh with a mild, musky sweetness and provides vitamin C. The baby banana, smaller and more aromatic than a regular banana, adds body and natural sweetness. Cooled peppermint tea replaces water and brings a clean, cooling note that keeps the tropical fruit from feeling heavy. The combination is creamy and refreshing at the same time, a good choice on hot days or after a meal.
