Ingredients
- 1 large papaya or 1 ½ to 2 small ones, or 14 oz frozen papaya
- 1 large mango or 7 oz frozen mango
- juice of one orange or ⅓ cup orange juice from concentrate
- 1 cup coconut milk I used cartoned coconut milk, but the canned stuff would be delicious here.
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ice
Instructions
- First, prepare the fruit. Start by cutting the papaya in half and scooping out the seeds with a spoon. Using a sharp knife, score the flesh into squares, then scoop them out, similar to how you would cut an avocado. Repeat the same process with the mango.
- Next, add the diced papaya, mango, orange juice, coconut milk, honey and ice into a blender.
- Blend until smooth. Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
To cut a papaya: I use a large, sharp chef's knife to slice the papaya in half. Then, scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Use the knife carefully to slice vertical and horizontal lines to create a grid. Then, use a spoon to scoop out the papaya from the peel. It is the same method that I use to slice up an avocado!
Pro Tip! If you can, use fresh fruits. Since papaya is not common in some countries, you might have to use frozen papaya. You will need about a 14 oz package of frozen papaya here. You can also use frozen mango! I would add about 7 oz.
