Fruit Salad Smoothie

Servings:
20 ouncesJust messing around with smoothie recipes. The red flecks in this come from the apple peel (my $20 blender left them in). A better blender might reduce these to a non-visible state, or you could just peel the apple first. Personally, I think they add character.
Ingredients:
1 banana
1 apple, cored and sliced
4 dates, pitted
3 slice papaya (1"
slices), peeled and quartered
1 orange, juiced
1 lemon or lime, juiced
water to desired thickness
Preparation:
I used a hand juicer to juice the orange and lemon/lime and added enough water to the two of these to equal 1 cup of total liquid.
Then just dump everything into your blender and beat until smooth.
Add more water or juice if you like your smoothies thinner.

Cantaloupe is the fall. Papaya's tropical, so pretty much year-round, I suppose. The one used in the picture was actually a tad under-ripe, so I can't say for sure.

Oooo thanks ill try the cantaloupe for now and try the papaya again later....when are they in season?

The papayas I've had tasted like less-juicy cantaloupe, which might be a good substitute if you don't want to brave papaya again.

Looks so yummy! Personally I like the spicks too and my smoothies always have them because of my cheap blender. The only problem i have with blending is when i blend organes and grapes the skin doesnt break up well and gets stuck in my straw! haha
Anyway this looks good but im not a big fan a papaya, maybe the one i had was too ripe or bad or something but it tasted like vomit to me ewww!
