Ingredients
Smoothie:
1 Australian papaya
2 Australian passionfruit
Flesh of 1 Australian custard apple, seeds removed
½ Australian banana (use the other half for the topping)
2 tbsp coconut yoghurt
Toppings:
1 tbsp toasted coconut flakes
½ sliced Australian banana
2 tbsp Australian blueberries
2 tbsp Australian hazelnuts
Method
Slice whole papaya in half, scoop out the seeds and throw these away, then remove some extra flesh to create a deeper hollow. Keep the extra flesh
Place papaya flesh and other smoothie ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth
Crush hazelnuts lightly in a mortar and pestle
Pour the smoothie mixture into each of the papaya ‘bowls’, top with sliced banana, fresh blueberries, toasted coconut flakes and crushed hazelnuts.
Tip: When in season, swap the Australian custard apple for the flesh of 1 Australian mango, or 2 small Australian peaches, nectarines, apricots or plums. Swap coconut yoghurt for regular yoghurt for a protein boost.
