Ingredients Needed
- 40g / ¼ cup papaya, diced
- 120ml / ½ cup unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk)
- ¼ avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ tsp lime juice
- 120ml / ½ cup ice cubes
- Stevia or monk fruit sweetener, to taste
How To Make Low Carb Keto Papaya Smoothie
- Blend all ingredients: Add papaya, coconut milk, avocado, chia seeds, vanilla extract, lime juice, ice cubes, and sweetener to a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Taste and adjust: Check the sweetness and adjust if needed.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately!
Recipe Tips
- Use ripe papaya: A small amount of ripe papaya adds natural sweetness and flavor. Avoid overripe papaya, as it can make the smoothie too sugary.
- Blend in stages: First, blend the papaya, avocado, and coconut milk until smooth. Then add ice and sweetener to get the perfect creamy texture.
- Adjust sweetness carefully: Since papaya is naturally sweet, start with a small amount of sweetener and add more if needed. Stevia or monk fruit works best.
- Chill ingredients for a colder smoothie: Using cold coconut milk and pre-chilled papaya gives a creamier and more refreshing smoothie without needing extra ice.
- Make it thicker: Add extra chia seeds or use frozen avocado for a thicker, creamier consistency without increasing the carbs.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Pour the leftover smoothie into an airtight jar or bottle and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, as ingredients may separate.
