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:
