Guava and Papaya Green Smoothie with Ginger and Lime
A tropical smoothie blending guava, papaya, spinach, ginger, and lime with coconut water for a vitamin C-rich sipper.
Guava and papaya are two of the most vitamin C-dense fruits in the tropical pantry, and blending them together with a handful of spinach and fresh ginger, common in immune-supportive cooking, makes for a genuinely nutrient-dense smoothie.
Coconut water keeps things light and hydrating rather than heavy, while a squeeze of lime sharpens the whole blend and adds even more vitamin C to the mix. Banana rounds it out with a little natural sweetness and a creamier texture.
Blend everything until completely smooth and drink right away for the best texture and flavor. It's an easy way to start the day with a big helping of fruit and greens in one glass.
Ingredients
