Papaya and pineapple smoothie - a simple, quick and incredibly tasty dairy free thick smoothie that's made with coconut milk.
If you haven't tried papaya before then I highly recommend whipping it up in your next smoothie.
Right now is the peak season for papaya and if you're fortunate enough to live in a country with much diversity, then you should be able to procure them at your leisure.
Where I'm located in the UK provides me with the advantage of consuming the exotic fruits and vegetables that I grew up on with papaya being one of them.
Although this papaya and pineapple smoothie contains more than just papaya, I want you guys to at least sample it, even if it's just one time. With that being said, the papaya combined with banana, coconut milk and pineapple yields this nectar sweet taste of paradise.
You can either eat it alone or add it to this smoothie - your choice, choose the latter *cough cough*
For recipes that contain papaya, don't forget to try any of the following recipes - Papaya Chia Pudding, Pineapple Chow and Thai Pineapple Fried Rice.

marie says
can i use half a papaya also can i put the seeds in the smoothie also can i use oat milk
Charla says
Hi Marie, please discard the seeds first before adding the papaya to the smoothie. Yes, you are more than welcome to use half a papaya and oat milk works just fine. I hope that answers your questions 🙂
Amy says
Can I use unsweetened almond milk
Charla says
Yes, I rotate between almond and coconut milk all the time.
Sagarika says
Can I have it without milk? Im allergic to milk and milk products. I cannot have butter milk too
Charla says
Yes, it will work without the milk although the milk I used it free from dairy. Unless you are allergic to plant based milk as well? The smoothie will be more concentrated and more like a strong fruit juice instead 😉
King of men says

Charla says
Yes, if you are not dairy free you can certainly add some evaporated milk if you wish

Roxy says
The recipe calls for 1 papaya. So it's a whole papaya for this recipe?
Roxy says
Sorry how many servings does this recipe produce? Thanks.
Charlene says
Hi Roxy, serving is 1-2 people.
Charlene says
Yes Roxy, that's a whole papaya, peeled and deseeded that you require 😉
Jenny says
I didn't have coconut milk, so I used yogurt and a bit of water. It was delicious!
Charla says
Hi Jenny, that's not a problem. What's important is that you managed to find a viable substitute and loved the results.
