Smoothie makes delicious milkshake alternative
The weather during the past week has been all over the weather board. One day it was hot and humid and the next it was chilly.
I’ve been struggling with running in the mornings but I’ve been able to work in some evening runs. I enjoy the morning runs more so than the evening runs simply because I start the day off feeling better and more refreshed.
When I’m not running at night, there’s nothing I enjoy more than sitting on my balcony reading. The only thing missing is an ice-cold drink to cool me from the summer heat.
I’m a huge fan of milk shakes but I want something a little healthier, so I looked around and found a recipe for a papaya-banana smoothie. Not only does it sound delicious, but it’s easy to make too.
Ingredients:
1 cup of milk
1/4 cup of Greek yogurt
1 teasponn of pure vanilla extract
1 small ripe banana that is peeled and sliced
1/2 large, ripe papaya that is peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup of ice cubes
Combine the milk, vanilla extract, yogurt, papaya and ice cubes in a blender. Blend the ingredients until smooth and voila, it’s ready to serve.

I can’t wait to try this smoothie, I like the idea of putting papaya in the smoothie. The ingredients sound healthy. Yummy.
HA!

Nice censorship SN! I’m pretty sure there was a very long discussion about nothing in particular here about 10 minutes ago.
Why?

Gee, I remember that article too, scarey stuff. It should of been titled “How to Make Yourself Sick By Fasting”. I mean really to end a fast and to start eatting icecream, what is that all about?

Yummy. The recipe is healthy and I will have to make it sometime. I know that papaya is good for digestion too. Sounds like a tastey treat.

Well, it’s good that the State News has decided to write a detailed dissemination on the merits of smoothies vs. milkshakes. Top notch journalism here. This will certainly maintain readership.
