Papaya or pawpaw (in Trinidad & Tobago) is a fruit native to the tropics. You may have eaten it raw and green already inside a Thai salad. Usually, the ripe fruit is diced and incorporated in fruits salad. Here, we are blending it with some other delicacies straight from tropical countries like banana, cinnamon & nutmeg.
​
Running low on energy, this smoothie is perfect to fill your tank between the papaya, that provides also a significant amount of vitamin C, and the banana. The nutmeg and the cinnamon, aside from spicing up your Festive Tropical Smoothie, are full of bioactive compounds that enhance your health. Above all, this sweet spicy creamy smoothie is a wonderful treat for yourself straight from the Caribbean.
