Ripe papaya blended with almond milk and a squeeze of lime into a smooth, lightly sweet drink.

Prep

Ripe papaya blends into something almost silky on its own, so this smoothie doesn't need much else — almond milk to thin it out, a little lime juice to brighten it, and honey only if the papaya isn't sweet enough by itself.
Unsweetened almond milk keeps the drink lighter than one made with dairy or fruit juice, which fits well if you're keeping an eye on added sugar as part of a thyroid-conscious routine. It comes together in the time it takes to blend, making it an easy option for busy mornings.
