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

  1. 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.
  2. Pour into tall glasses, garnish with mint leaves and serve chilled.
