This recipe is a little something I picked up from my father. He usually makes it on a weekend morning and we eat it for breakfast with a hunks of soft, challah-like bread.
I was surprised to find the lovely specimen pictured above at my local Trader Joe's. I usually have to take advantage of times when I happen to be in Spanish neighborhoods to find stuff like this. I make it sound like an ordeal, but living in Manhattan...anything is just a short train ride away. And if you live in a reasonably diverse area, there's bound to be a Spanish market nearby. You just have to know when things are in season and trying out these recipes should be cake :)
Papaya Smoothie
Serves 2
1 tray of ice cubes
1/2 a papaya, ripe and cut into chunks
1/4 Cup sugar
1/4 Cup milk
1/2 to 1 tsp of vanilla
This recipe can easily be tweaked to taste. First, remove seeds. Put ice cubes, papaya chunks, sugar, milk, and vanilla into a blender. Blend. It's that easy. And crazy good.
