Papaya Avocado Smoothie

1 Reply

Here’s my latest smoothie crave. Papaya, avocado, coconut milk, and lime! It was rich, creamy and delicious. The only thing that wasn’t great was the color. As you might know from painting, that’s what you get when you mix red (papaya) with green (avocado)! But who cares right?

Happy Thursday! 🙂


Ingredients

  • 1/2 papaya
  • 1/2 avocado
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup (or more) water
  • 1 tsp (or more) honey (optional)

Directions

  • Combine ingredients
  • Using a blender or inversion blender mix ingredients adding more water as needed
  • Enjoy!

Cherry Garcia Smoothie

Protein Berry Smoothie

When the Huz travels, and we don’t have the boys, Maya and I keep it pretty simple for dinners.  One of our favorite things to make is smoothies-DUH! 🙂  We’ve posted various smoothie recipes, and really it’s hard to go wrong.  Just dump a bunch of ingredients in a blender and it comes out tasting delicious (usually!)  Since it was going to be our dinner I added some protein powder and other “healthy” powder that made me feel a little better about it as a meal 😉Blog Protein Vegetarian Paleo Fruit Smoothie-1Ingredients
