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*

Can I use unsweetened almond milk
Yes, I rotate between almond and coconut milk all the time.
Can I have it without milk? Im allergic to milk and milk products. I cannot have butter milk too
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 😉
I have papaya and pineapple at home, can I add evaporated milk to it
Yes, if you are not dairy free you can certainly add some evaporated milk if you wish
Thanks for sharing, easy to make and delicious
You're welcome Adam 😉
I really love this smoothie it is so good, can also add spinach and ground flax seeds even better....try it you'll love it!
Thanks Darlene. I will incorporate some flax and spinach next time.
The recipe calls for 1 papaya. So it's a whole papaya for this recipe?
Sorry how many servings does this recipe produce? Thanks.
Hi Roxy, serving is 1-2 people.
Yes Roxy, that's a whole papaya, peeled and deseeded that you require 😉
I didn't have coconut milk, so I used yogurt and a bit of water. It was delicious!
Hi Jenny, that's not a problem. What's important is that you managed to find a viable substitute and loved the results.
