\"papaya<\/img><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n

My kids love smoothies. \u00a0They have grown up used to watching us throw fruits, veggies, nuts and powders into a blender and drinking away. \u00a0Most days, my youngest isn\u2019t happy until she\u2019s had her smoothie in the morning. \u00a0Sometimes she wants yogurt in it, sometimes almond milk. \u00a0She likes to play around with different fruit combos, too.<\/p>\n

On one such day of experimenting, she pulled out a papaya my mom had bought for us and said she wanted a papaya smoothie. \u00a0Then she pulled out a lime. \u00a0I tell ya, she\u2019s pretty savvy for a 3 year old, huh? \u00a0So, a papaya lime smoothie it was. \u00a0She drank the whole thing, and asked for more.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to understand why, too. \u00a0This papaya lime smoothie is nice and thick, not too sweet (it\u2019s naturally sweetened by the way), and really refreshing. \u00a0The great thing about a smoothie is you can add things to suit your taste. \u00a0Want it sweeter? \u00a0Add more honey or maple syrup. \u00a0Want more lime flavor? \u00a0Add more lime zest. \u00a0You really can\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n

    Start by cutting the papaya in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. \u00a0Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds from the center of both halves of the papaya. \u00a0Discard the seeds. Use the spoon to scoop out the papaya fruit. You will need 1 cup for the smoothie.<\/p>\n
