Using Avocadoes and Papayas in Smoothies

Dear DaNae,

I am from Brazil. Smoothies are big there. My mother often made avocado smoothies.

They are scrumptious! Just blend avocado, milk, and some sugar or honey.

Also, try papaya with banana. The texture of this smoothie is heavenly. Just blend milk and the fruit. You may add a tablespoon of honey too. Add a half a cup of oats to make it a COMPLETE breakfast.

Grace,

Thanks for the tips!

I like using avocado in my smoothies. It adds such a creaminess. But usually in the past, I only use part of an avocado with the other ingredients. I will have to try using it as the main ingredient here in the future.

I do really like papayas as well. But I went to buy one at the store, and it was $17! So, I haven't tried to make a lot of them lately. I would love to visit a tropical place and blend up a freshly-picked papaya. I'm sure that would be extremely good. I'll keep my eyes out for the prices to go down on the papaya, and then blend away. :)

Thanks again! and Happy Blending!
