Instructions
Preparation
- Start by prepping your ingredients. Peel and dice the ripe papaya, ensuring you remove all seeds. Slice the banana into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Blending
- Place the diced papaya and sliced banana into a blender. Follow this with the yogurt and milk, creating a creamy base. Don’t forget to add your honey for sweetness.
- Cover the blender and mix the ingredients on high speed. Blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk.
- Once blended, check the texture. You can decide to add ice cubes at this stage for a chilled smoothie. Blend again until the ice is crushed and incorporated.
- Taste your smoothie. Depending on your preference, you might want to add a bit more honey or some additional fruit for sweetness. Blend again to combine.
Serving
- Once satisfied with the taste and consistency, pour the smoothie into glasses. Garnish with slices of banana or papaya on top and serve immediately.
