An exotic smoothie recipe for when the weather takes a turn for the tropical…

This salubrious  smoothie is both refreshing and comforting. The tropical sweetness of papaya and zing of lime produce a summery medley which is offset by warming cinnamon. A smooth avocado and papaya base creates a luxurious, silky consistency.

This super-powered smoothie is bursting with heart-healthy goodness – high levels of antioxidants such as vitamin C from the papaya and lime juice have been shown to help keep your arteries clean, avocado’s good fats are heart-protective, and cinnamon helps to lower the risk of heart disease by reducing triglycerides (naughty fats) in the blood.

Sunshine in a glass..!
