smoothies as much as other fruits simply because they're not as nutritionally dense and I just tend
to mostly cook with the fruits which I love the taste of — but that the great thing
about the recipes, and especially
smoothies, you can use it as a guide
to add things you have in the fridge or whatever so I'm so glad you're
adding different things!

to 1/4 cup coconut milk or other non-dairy milk 1 cup cubed papaya 1/2 cup frozen cubed mango 1 large frozen banana (
about 1 cup of frozen banana chunks) Optional: 1/2 cup frozen cubed pineapple (gives it more sweetness, but overpowers the papaya a bit — depends on your preference for papaya) Optional: Vodka or Rum — if
