Papaya can sometimes be slightly bitter on its own, but it blends beautifully with creamy fruits like avocado and banana. This smoothie is silky, filling, and naturally sweet—an excellent choice for breakfast or a post-workout refill.

How to buy papaya

If you plan to use the papaya right away or within a couple of days, choose one that is mostly yellow with a little green. A fully ripe papaya will be mostly yellow and feel slightly soft and heavy when you press it gently.

When is papaya in season?

Papayas are available year-round, making this recipe convenient any season. Their peak season is in early summer when they’re at their sweetest.

Is avocado good in smoothies?

Yes—avocado adds rich creaminess without imparting a strong avocado flavor. It’s also a smart way to use a cut avocado before it browns, and it helps make smoothies more satisfying and smooth.

Ingredients

Papaya: Halve, scoop out the seeds, and cut into chunks suitable for your blender. You’ll often have extra papaya for another use.

Avocado: Use about 1/4 of an avocado per large smoothie. If making multiple servings, one avocado will cover several smoothies.

Banana: Adds natural sweetness and extra creaminess.

Orange juice: Contributes brightness and a touch of sweetness.

Mango nectar: Choose a good-quality nectar—mango pairs especially well with papaya.

Honey: Adds a little extra sweetness; adjust to taste or omit for a less sweet drink.
