Why This Is The Best Papaya Smoothie Recipe
- Tropical flavors. Papaya, mango, pineapple and coconut are all delicious tropical flavors that go together so well in this smoothie.
- It’s vegan. You don’t need to make any substitutions, this recipe is vegan as is.
- It’s a great way to use up extra papaya. If you have fresh papaya that is beginning to get a bit soft and is no longer as enjoyable to eat, using it in a smoothie is the best way to use it up.

Expert Tips
- Use a high quality blender. A good blender makes a huge difference when making smoothies. Use a blender cup rather than the large blender attachment as the smaller cup tends to make a smoother smoothie.
- Don’t make this smoothie in advance. Smoothies taste best when made fresh. It’s best to make them right before drinking them. To save time, portion out the fruit, coconut milk and maple syrup so they are ready to throw in the blender when you are ready to make the smoothie.
- To reduce the calories: Coconut milk is healthy, but higher in calories than other non-dairy milks. To reduce the calories, substitute ½ to ⅔ of the coconut milk with almond milk instead.
