Come summer we look forward to feast on chilled nutritious and delicious juices and smoothies (are ice-cream healthy? ;)) My fellow foodie blogger friends have already flagged off the smoothie indulgence season. So I too put my blender to work as well. The March issue of Prevention had some super cool smoothie recipes. I asked S to take his pick and he chose the Papaya Smoothie. Great! I made a few minor changes to the recipe. I replaced pineapple with banana as S is allergic to pineapple. Papaya smoothie minus the pineapple tasted awesome and was reeeeeeeeeea…..lly filling.
Here's the Smoothie Recipe:
Here's the Smoothie Recipe:

Put papaya, banana, yogurt, crushed ice, flax seed powder, honey, vanilla essence in a blender. Blend until smooth. Garnish with dates syrup and serve chilled immediately.
Enjoy your Weekend! TC
