This is a perfect before dinner smoothie. It is delightful and light (just like a good friend) and doesnt feel like a meal in a cup. Nathan loves this little ditty and it cuts down on the time it takes me to make dinner, consider it a creative appetizer.
Coconut milk (light), Papaya, Vanilla, Cinnamon and Nutmeg Smoothie with crushed Almonds:
Ingreds- listed above. I prefer TJ's frozen pap and light coconut milk.You can omit or add whatever you like but make sure to blend for 3 mins, you really get a smooth milky texture.
How to:Here are my tricks and i am telling you they count...
1. 1-1 1/2 cup frozen papaya in blender
2. add 1 cup coconut milk and 1/3 cup water. Let papaya soak and thaw in the milk for 5 mins or more. This allows the papaya to soften up and really makes a difference when it comes to texture.
3. add 1/2 tbs vanilla extract
4. cinna to your liking
5. pinch of nutmeg
6. (optional) honey or agave
7. 3 ice cubes. blend for 3 mins, if you see that more liquid is needed, slowly add some water while smoothie is still blending.
8. (if time permits) sprinkle 10 crushed almonds over the top.
You can win a heart with this drink! I love serving it before a light soup and salad dinner!
