WHY NOT

Use two passion fruits instead of the papaya?

Give in to the call of the tropics with this vibrant smoothie, a symphony of exotic flavours that will instantly transport you to a paradise of swaying palm trees and azure skies. Each sip is a celebration of sun-kissed fruits. The velvety texture and mild taste of papaya pairs perfectly with juicy, sweet mango, creating an irresistible fruity base. Vanilla yogurt adds a dreamy creaminess as orange juice livens it up with a refreshing touch of acidity, balancing the sweet fruits. Soft, creamy milk pulls all these elements together in a harmonious dance of flavours and textures. The vivid colour and surprising taste makes this smoothie more than just a drink—it’s a true tropical getaway in your glass.

CHEF’S SECRET

• Add a pinch of shredded coconut or a few drops of coconut extract to the blender to enhance the tropic flavours.
• If you prefer a thicker smoothie, use frozen mangoes and papaya. This will give the smoothie a rich, creamy texture without diluting the flavour with ice cubes.
• If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add a tablespoon of honey or agave syrup. These natural sweeteners perfectly complement the tropical flavours.
• For an additional boost of nutrition, add a tablespoon of ground chia or flax seeds. Not only do they add omega-3 fatty acids, but they also help thicken up the smoothie a bit.
• Experiment with other tropical fruits like pineapple or kiwi to mix things up and discover new flavour combinations.
