    Papaya has a slight muskiness that makes it a good partner for both mild and assertive ingredients. Coupling it with mint gives this quick-to-fix smoothie a bright, clean taste.

      This is a super easy recipe with papayas. I use almond milk instead of yogurt. Other great papays recipes here:
