Warm Ginger Papaya Smoothie
Vegan
Wanted something soothing and light to start the day after doing this Motivation-Activation Flow Practice video from Yoga Journal.
Inspired by the food-replacing liquid fast combo of guava-papaya-apple, I left out the apple this time and used warm ginger tea for the liquid.
I scoop out the guava seeds for smoothies, but then eat that bit with great relish, since I think the creamy flesh around the seeds is the best thing guava's got going.
Smoothies with a watery liquid (eg herbal tea) are kind of a nice lighter alternative to the creamy soy milk etc - based ones I often make. And you taste the actual fruit more. Witness this intensely colored blueberry-banana number from yesterday (left), compared to a creamy one (right):
