the honey really makes this recipe! i wouldn't substitute a different sweetener, because it's not generic sweetness but a the distinct honey flavor that makes this smoothie. the lemon really helps cut the edge of that papaya funk. this has an opulent, full-bodied flavor- a golden, summery nectar :)
Ingredients:
1 smallish maradol papaya
juice of 3 small lemons ( about 3 oz)
1/3 cup honey
ice (enough to thin out the smoothie)
Preparation:
1. using a zester or a knife, peel the lemons to make lemon curl garnishes. set aside
2. juice the lemons
3. blend everything
4. top each smoothie with lemon curls in a spiral and and drizzle with honey
