Tropical blend of papaya, banana, and dairy-free milk. Quick, nourishing, and customizable for breakfast or snacks.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base

01 - 2 cups chopped ripe papaya
02 - 1 medium banana, preferably frozen
03 - 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk, such as almond or coconut milk

→ Optional Add-ins

04 - 1 tablespoon nut butter, such as almond or peanut butter
05 - 1 scoop plain or vanilla protein powder
06 - A squeeze of fresh lime juice or 1/2 teaspoon lime zest

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Add chopped papaya, frozen banana, and non-dairy milk to a high-powered blender.
02 - Blend mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, adjusting with additional milk if mixture is too thick.
03 - If desired, add nut butter, protein powder, or lime, then blend briefly to combine.
04 - Taste and, if needed, adjust sweetness with a teaspoon of maple syrup or preferred sweetener.
05 - Pour smoothie into two chilled glasses and serve at once for optimal texture and flavor.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For a thicker consistency, use frozen banana and add a handful of ice before blending.
02 - Papaya should be ripe; choose fruit with mostly yellow skin that yields slightly to pressure.
03 - Chia, hemp seeds, or a handful of fresh spinach can be blended in for extra nutrition.
