Sometimes on their own, papayas can be a bit bitter. However, they go so well with other fruit (such as avocado and banana) and are great in smoothies.

This papaya smoothie is a healthy breakfast meal or a great post-workout drink.

For other healthy smoothie recipes, try this mango spinach smoothie, tahini smoothie, or this watermelon pineapple smoothie.

How to buy papaya:

If you are looking to eat your papaya right away or within the next couple of days, choose one that is mostly yellow with a little green.

Papayas are fully ripe when they are all yellow. To the touch, they should be firm and heavy and a little soft, but not too soft.

When is papaya in season?

You can find papayas all year round — which is why this is a great recipe even for the winter time.

However, their peak season is in early summer.

Is avocado good in smoothies?

Yes! They add a lot of creaminess without making the smoothie taste like avocado.

Smoothies are a great way to use up leftover avocado you have already cut open before it turns brown. 

Ingredients:

Papaya: Cut it open and remove the seeds, then cut it up into blendable-sized chunks. Most are fairly large so you will have leftovers to use for something else, such as this papaya rum punch.

Avocado: You will only need about ¼ of an avocado per smoothie, so if you are making a batch of four, one will work well. Or, make a single papaya avocado smoothie and an avocado toast breakfast!

Banana: This adds extra creaminess and thickness.

Orange Juice: Adds sweetness and flavor.

Mango Nectar: Use a quality mango nectar. Mango + papaya go very well together. 

Honey: This adds just a tad of sweetness.
