Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups
- Smoothie Bowl/Cup/Mason Jar
Ingredients
Smoothie Base
- 1 papaya
- 1 mango
- 1 banana
- ½ cup (125ml) milk of choice (almond, oat, coconut, or dairy)
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
Toppings
- 1 tsp cocoa nibs
- fresh fruit
Instructions
- Peel and chop the papaya, mango, and banana (discard the papaya seeds). If any of your fruit is frozen, take it out of the freezer just before you’re ready to blend so it doesn’t sit and thaw.
- Add the papaya, mango, banana, and turmeric to a blender. Pour in the milk – start with less than the recipe states and add more if needed. Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the smoothie into a smoothie bowl. Arrange your toppings using fresh fruit, cacao nibs or whatever you like. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a frozen fruit for the thickest, creamiest consistency.
- Add milk gradually, less milk gives a thicker, spoonable smoothie bowl; more milk gives a drinkable smoothie.
- Use fully ripe papaya and mango for the sweetest, most vibrant result.
- Drink immediately for the best texture and highest nutritional value.
- To make ahead, freeze peeled and chopped fruit in portioned zip-lock bags. When you're ready to make the smoothie, blend the frozen fruit with the milk and turmeric.
