Hawaiian Smoothie

:  Summer 2003

Your rating: None Average: 4.6 (49 votes)

For the best taste and color, use a red-fleshed Hawaiian papaya for this exotic, lip-puckering taste of island summer. Papayas are loaded with papain, a digestive enzyme, so this smoothie is a good dessert to settle stomachs after a substantial meal.
