2 papayas, ripe
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup vanilla frozen yogurtPeel, seed and coarsely chop papayas. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Makes 2 servings. NOTE: I’m sure this recipe calls for small papayas frequently found on northern supermarket shelves. They are about the size of a medium avocado. Our papayas in the south run up to twice the size of a cantaloupe, obviously much too large to use two in this recipe. Use your judgement.About 2 cups of papaya cubes would make two tall glasses of smoothie. Select the ripest for best flavor. If not ripe enough, you may have to add a little sugar to the smoothie.
101passionate peach smoothie
1 can peaches in syrup
1 frozen banana
1 cup Ben and Jerry’s Purple Passion Sorbet 1 can peach nectar
2 cups grape juiceBlend until smooth. It lives up to it’s name.102peach smoothie
1 cup frozen peach slices
1/2 banana, sliced
3 tablespoons nonfat vanilla yogurt
1/4 cup orange juice or apple juice
1/2 cup nonfat rice milk, optional
sugar to taste (optional – I like it plain, but you can put up to 1 Tbsp
sugar in)Throw all ingredients in the blender and chop and then puree for many seconds until it is delightfully smooth. I usually have to stir it up a bit during blending if I didn’t put quite enough liquids in. I’ve made variations substituting ice cubes for the frozen fruit and adding other fresh fruits or even cocoa powder and the other half banana.
Substituting the fresh fruits sometimes requires a little extra liquid, and when I do the banana and cocoa powder, I definitely have to add more liquid, usually rice milk or water. The ice cubes make a more grainy texture than the frozen peaches. Any way you make it, it’s a delicious, nonfat, somewhat nutritious treat, treat, treat!103peaches & dreams smoothie
