Hawaiian Smoothie

A smoothie is so much better than a bag of chips or fries to fend off hunger pangs the healthy way. Besides, it’s ready in a jiffy, with hardly any effort in the kitchen.

Instructions:

Place ingredients in a blender in the order listed. Pulse three times to chop the fruit and then blend until smooth. Serve immediately. Grenadine, a red-colored syrup, is used to flavor and color drinks. Guava nectar is usually available in the juice section of any supermarket. Use the red-fleshed Hawaiian papaya for the best taste and color. Makes 2 servings of one cup each.
