How to Make Papaya Ginger Smoothie

  1. Refrigerate the papaya for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to ensure a perfectly chilled smoothie.
  2. Combine 1 cup of cubed, chilled papaya, 1/2 cup ice, 1/2 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular), 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 tablespoon honey (or to taste), and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice in a high-powered blender.
  3. Blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, up to 1/4 cup, until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Add 1/4 cup packed fresh mint leaves and blend again until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour into glasses and garnish with a few fresh mint sprigs. Enjoy immediately!
