Liquid perfection: Papaya-Granola Smoothie - labradors - 07-24-2010

This is something I've mentioned before, in passing, but I finally paid attention to how they made it in the juice store.

Now that I've made it at home, though, I can see that I'm going to have to get some more papayas.

A LOT more! In fact, I'm seriously considering making sure I ALWAYS have a pitcher of this in the fridge.

Here's how it goes:

Papaya-Granola Smoothie

Ingredients (per serving):
  • 2 Cups Papaya, skin and seeds removed, cut into large chunks (about 3/4 lb)
  • Milk as needed (see instructions)
  • 3/4 Cup Ice cubes
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar
  • 3 Tbsp Granola (loose granola cereal containing oats, peanuts, raisins, etc.)
Instructions:
  1. Place papaya into a blender, up to the two-cup line.
  2. Add milk up to the two-cup line (i.e. filling in the gaps)
  3. Add the ice, sugar and granola.
  4. Blend until smooth.

I wonder how this would taste with rice milk? It's thinner than whole milk or even 2% milk. I may have to give this a taste test.

Denise, that probably wouldn't matter for this recipe, but I would suggest leaving out the sugar, at first, if you decide to use rice or soy milk, then add it as you see fit.
