Ingredients

• 1 ripe mango, peeled and cubed
• 1 ripe papaya, peeled and cubed
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the mango cubes and papaya cubes. Blend until smooth.
2. Add in the fresh orange juice and Greek yogurt. Blend again until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add honey to taste and blend once more.
4. Finally, add the ice cubes and blend until the mixture is smooth and frothy. You should smell the sweet tropical aroma as the ice blends in.
5. Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re out of honey, try using agave syrup or a ripe banana for natural sweetness.
• Presentation Ideas: Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, and add a slice of mango or papaya on the rim for a decorative touch.
• Adjusting for Occasions: For a party, consider serving the smoothie in small, clear cups and garnish each with a small mint leaf or a tiny umbrella to add a festive touch.

Storage and Substitutions

• Storage: Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Shake well before serving again.
• Substitutions for Availability: If mangoes or papayas are out of season, frozen fruit works just as well. Simply thaw slightly before blending.
