Ingredients

1 medium ripe papaya, peeled and diced

1 ripe banana

1 cup coconut milk (or almond milk for a lighter option)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (to taste)

1 tablespoon chia seeds

1/2 cup mixed frozen tropical fruits (pineapple, mango)

Toppings: sliced kiwi, fresh pineapple chunks, granola, shredded coconut, and edible flowers (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Papaya: Start by peeling the papaya, removing the seeds, and slicing it into smaller chunks. This makes it easier to blend.

Blend the Smoothie Base: In a blender, combine the diced papaya, banana, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), chia seeds, and the mixed frozen tropical fruits. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy, resembling a thick smoothie consistency.

Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie feels too thick, add a little more coconut milk until you reach your desired consistency for pouring.

Serve the Smoothie Bowl: Pour the smoothie mixture into a large bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a slight well in the center for the toppings.

Add Toppings: Artfully arrange your toppings, beginning with slices of kiwi and pineapple chunks. Sprinkle granola over the top for added crunch, and add a sprinkle of shredded coconut for that tropical feel. If using, place a few edible flowers for visual appeal.

Enjoy Immediately: Serve your Tropical Papaya Paradise Smoothie Bowl right away, and enjoy the refreshing taste of the tropics!
