Ingredients Needed:
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 small ripe banana, peeled and sliced
- 1/2 large, ripe papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup ice cubes
How To Make Papaya-Banana Smoothie?
- Prepare the Ingredients: Add the milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, banana, papaya, and ice cubes to a blender.
- Blend the Smoothie: Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Serve the Smoothie: Pour the smoothie into a large glass and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips:
- Use a Ripe Banana: Make sure your banana is ripe for natural sweetness and creaminess. A banana that’s too green will make the smoothie taste bland.
- Freeze the Banana and Papaya: Freezing the banana and papaya will make your smoothie extra cold and creamy without watering it down.
- Blend in Stages: Blend the ingredients in stages (milk and yogurt first, then add the fruits and ice) to make sure everything mixes smoothly.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a teaspoon of honey, maple syrup, or agave syrup to taste.
- Use Fresh Ice: Make sure your ice cubes are fresh to avoid any freezer taste, which can affect the flavor of the smoothie.
How To Store Leftovers?
Let the leftover smoothie cool to room temperature, then place it in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake it well before drinking.
