Yields: 2-3 servings

• 1/4 LARGE papaya, seeded and peeled
• 1 kiwi fruit, peeled
• 1/2 scoop Greens First or other Green Powder
• 1/4 tsp Edible Green Tea Powder
• 1/2 scoop soy milk powder or soy protein powder
• 1 tsp hemp oil
• 1 Tbsp raw cashews
• 1/4 to 1/2 cucumber
• juice of 1 lime
• 2 disks fresh raw ginger
• agave nectar to taste
• 1/2 avocado
• 1/4 C cilantro
• about 1 cup water

I came up with this original recipe when I wanted something cold, smooth, healthy and delicious. After several tries, this is what we landed on in the Dorkage test kitchen.

Notes: If using a small papaya, use half a papaya in this recipe. Virtually all of these ingredients are optional except the papaya. I would leave in at least one of the oily ingredients. The avocado and/or hemp oil and/or nuts give it a smooth creamy consistency. You might think of other ingredients you can put in as well, such as fresh pineapple, coconut, or parsley. It is best if your chunk of papaya is frozen and partially thawed. Process in food processor or blender until smooth. We eat ours with a spoon. It makes enough for six servings as a side dish, or two servings if this is a meal. Be open minded when you taste this. My healthy minded friends have requested second helpings.
