Reviews
I used a frozen banana and almond milk. The frozen banana worked as the ice replacement. I didn’t have any strawberries to add and it didn’t need sugar. I was great tasting! I will try with strawberries next time, but if you want to avoid a trip to town you use what you have on hand and in this case it worked out really good.
awesome recipe
It was yucky. first time having papaya and I think I’m just not a big fan of the flavor
This was very good. Even my 7 year old who I cannot get to eat fruit, loved this.
YUM and GUILT FREE! I omitted the sugar and used 1 cup vanilla almond milk. Only 1 WW+ point!!
I made this as directed except I used 3 Truvia packets in place of the sugar and I used a frozen banana. It was great!
I had bought this huge papaya thing from Walmart and I just wanted to add more fruit to the diet so it was a Mexican papaya and I used the whole thing. It was simple and good so that was cool.
Used blueberries instead of strawberries, and added a fruit juice blend instead of the milk. Oh, keep a banana in the freezer for this – it really makes it great!
Fun way to eat this super fruit
This was delicious – I wanted to make a smoothie with Papaya b/c it’s so good for you. I didn’t know it was taste so good! I made a few changes: used yogurt instead of the milk, added a few more strawberries, used only 1/2 the papaya, and added vanilla whey protein powder so there was no need to add sugar. It was very good and the papaya made it so silky and smooth – We will be making this again! Thanks!!
We used half a papaya and it was absolutely fantastic. Great late night summer snack/beverage. Forget the bikini, just drink it.
I loved this smoothie! The papaya gives a nice texture. Since I used frozen banana and strawberries, I omitted the ice. I also omitted the sugar and I don’t recommend adding any.
add a half cup strawberry dackery and then its perfect for parties and special occasions. but it is great(:
Execellent. Great way to incorporate papaya into your diet. Have ended up throwing any fruit I have on hand, makes it even better, especially cherries.
This is delicious! just be sure to use the mexican papaya as someone said and not the flavorless hawaiian. I added a dash of cinnamon powder.
I was really surprised that this tasted so good! I love papyas and bananas and strawberries, so this tasted fantasic! It was really nice and thick, which I love about smoothies.
I left out the papaya, and added about 1/4 cup minute maid frozen lemon aid. that was an improvement
Excellent recipe, easy to prepare. All I did was add a bit of Splenda to make it sweeter.
I didn’t think it had much flavor. I tried to add honey, pineapples, and peaches, but it didn’t work. My husband and I both threw ours out.
i thought it was very good but i suggest you use the mexican carribian red papayas instead of the dinky hawwiian ones.
