Papaya Smoothie with Oranges, Blueberries, and Apple
Are you looking for an easy way to incorporate more papaya into your diet? I have an amazingly delicious and healthy papaya smoothie for you to start the day! It is easy to make and you probably have all the other fruits at home.
Papaya or pawpaw has become a popular fruit because I can easily find it in many large and small markets. Papayas are affordable, nutritious, and versatile. They make great snacks, appetizers, salads, stews, and smoothies.
The best papaya smoothies have a great tropical flavor and are perfect for breakfast or a quick snack. We use cold papaya chunks, cold fresh orange juice, cold apple, and frozen blueberries—a refreshing and delicious way to consume wholesome and healthy goodies into our bodies.

Papaya Smoothie for breakfast
Many people have been drinking smoothies for breakfast for convenience, as part of a meal plan, and for dieting purposes. Fruits smoothies such as strawberries and bananas, strawberries and blueberries, or banana smoothies are more popular than a smoothie with papaya; why? The answer is simple. Many people don’t know or are not aware that they can make a papaya smoothie.
The benefits of Papaya
Papaya is a fruit that is used in many ways in cooking and baking. Papaya frappe, meatless papaya stew, beef, and papaya stew are just a few delicious recipes for you to try. You will fall in love with these recipes as they are very easy to follow.
The possible health benefits of papaya are significant to know. Medical News Today claimed that the potential health benefits of consuming papaya include a reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, aiding in digestion, improving blood glucose control in people with diabetes, lowering blood pressure, and improving wound healing.
Tips for buying and preparing papaya
The first thing to do when buying papaya is to know when and how you will eat it. Depending on the intention, you will choose reddish-orange skin or greenish skin papaya with very few yellow patches.
Papaya takes a few days to ripen, and the spots do not affect the taste. But make sure you eat it right away when the skin is entirely reddish-yellow or yellow.
Preparing papaya is not difficult at all. Wash it first, remove the skin, remove the black seeds if you don’t want to eat them as they are bitter. Slice, juice and enjoy.
The recipe for papaya smoothie incorporating other fruits
Prepare all the ingredients. Wash and slice the fruits that are needed to be cut. Juice the oranges. Add all the ingredients to a high-powered blender. Blend until smooth and enjoy immediately.
Blender Recommendations for papaya smoothie and fruits smoothies
I am in love with my Nutri Personal Ninja Blender. It is fast, easy to clean, and worth the price, in my opinion. If you need a smoothie every day, this is a good investment as a regular blender may not give you the same result. Unless you have a high-powered full-size professional blender, then you can make smoothies for the whole family.
Tips and Notes to make smoothies
- There’s is not need to add sugar or any type of sweeteners. The fruits have natural sugars.
- Smoothies taste better with fresh ginger and a dash of nutmeg.
- Use a powerful blender to whip up your smoothie.
- Add other fruits if you would like.
- This fruits smoothie is best enjoyed cold. You can refrigerate the fruits for about 15 to 30 minutes before blending.
