Ingredients
Tip
Use a well ripened papaya and you may not need any sweetener at all. Pour the smoothie into jars with tight-fitting lids to make great on-the-go beverages.
- 1 medium-sized, ripe papaya
- 1 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- Honey as a sweetener, if needed
- A few mint leaves, to garnish
Preparation method
- Cut the papaya into chunks. Blend it along with orange juice and turmeric powder to a thick but drinkable consistency. Use more orange juice or water to thin it if necessary. Taste and sweeten with honey if needed.
- Pour into tall glasses, garnish with mint leaves and serve chilled.
