Tropical Fruit Smoothie
This 5-Ingredient Tropical Fruit Smoothie is packed full of papaya and pineapple. It's thick, creamy, and is a beautiful orange color. The best part is it only takes a couple of minutes to whip up. It's the perfect smoothie recipe for a quick breakfast or snack!
I adore a thick and extremely creamy smoothie. I try to make it almost the same consistency as a milkshake but with a bright fruity flavor and gorgeous color like this raspberry peach smoothie.
So, I made a tropical fruit smoothie. I bought a couple papayas at the grocery store and had to have them without knowing what in the heck I was going to make. When in doubt and not buying enough to make a dessert, a smoothie is always the perfect use. If you have mangoes instead of papayas on hand, try this mango pineapple smoothie.
Ingredients
See the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all ingredients and quantities.
- Papaya - I used fresh papaya but frozen will work great too.
- Pineapple - I used frozen, but fresh will work too.
- Yogurt - You can use your favorite yogurt. I doesn't need to be peach.
- Pineapple Juice - This helps thin out the smoothie and adds more flavor and sweetness.
