Refreshing Papaya Pineapple Punch Smoothie with Coconut Water | 30 Smoothie recipes (26/30)
Summer is here and the heat calls for something light, hydrating, and tasty. I whipped up this smoothie using some papaya, pineapple and a touch of mint and trust me, it turned out so good! No milk, no sugar, nothing extra. Just chilled fruits and coconut water.
We usually have papaya cut and stored in the fridge, so this smoothie makes a super quick fix when everyone at home wants something cool and sweet. Plus, I love the way the pineapple adds a zing and mango gives that nice thickness.
Why it’s healthy
This smoothie is full of fibre, low in calories, and perfect for digestion. Papaya and pineapple both help with bloating, and mint cools the system. Coconut water keeps you hydrated and gives that beachy feel.
Let’s Talk About Ingredients
• Papaya – Rich in fibre and enzymes, perfect for digestion and skin health. If you don’t have fresh papaya, you can use frozen too.
• Pineapple – Tangy and full of vitamin C. It adds freshness and a little sharpness. Replace with orange if not available.
• Mango – Gives sweetness and texture. Any ripe mango works. If mango is not in season, skip it or use banana.
• Mint Leaves – Adds natural cooling and a fresh taste. Don’t skip this! Even 4-5 leaves make a difference.
• Coconut Water – This is the base. It’s naturally sweet, low calorie and keeps the drink light. Best when served chilled.
