Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even creamier texture, put the banana and papaya pieces in the freezer for a few hours before blending. You can also replace the milk with a plant-based milk for an equally delicious dairy-free version.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Not recommended

Possible as ice cubes or ice pops but not recommended as a drink after thawing (texture altered). 1 month max.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Enjoy fresh to keep texture, flavor and vitamins. The layers separate quickly.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Same day

The fruit oxidizes and the smoothie separates, losing nutritional and sensory quality.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Not applicable. It is a cold drink.

Variations

Add ice cubes and blend again for a colder smoothie.
Serve immediately in two large glasses.
Adjust the honey to your preferred sweetness.

Mistakes to avoid

Serving late: serve right away to keep it fresh.
Forgetting to remove the papaya seeds.
Blending too briefly: blend for one to two minutes for a perfectly smooth texture.

Frequently asked questions

How do you prepare the papaya?

Cut the papaya in half, scoop out the seeds with a spoon, scoop out the flesh and cut it into cubes before putting it in the blender with the bananas and the hulled strawberries.

How long do you blend the smoothie?

Put the bananas, papaya, strawberries, cold milk and honey in the blender and blend for one to two minutes, until the texture is perfectly smooth, uniform and creamy.

How do you make the smoothie colder?

Add a few ice cubes to the blender, then blend again for a few seconds. The smoothie will be colder and slightly thicker, which is nice in summer.
