Papaya Banana Lettuce

Take a close look at this smoothie. It’s probably not one that you’re going to want to make. I love papaya when it’s ripe, but the green things that they ship up to my neck of the woods really is hit and miss. It’s just to be the perfect time of year and you’ve got to pick up the perfect fruit to have a really good experience.

But the way I really messed this one up was by adding a creamy papaya with creamy bananas with creamy coconut milk to a mild lettuce. If there were something sour or sharp, I’m sure I would have had a better experience.

  • ½ large papaya (remove the seeds)
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 cup coconut milk with vanilla flavorings
  • 6 to 7 little itty bitty dates
  • 1 bowl lettuce

The larger papaya increased the volume of this smoothie just past one quart. Which, to me, is perfect for my wife and I. It’s just that I didn’t get possible feedback on this combination.
