Submitted by Cathy17

"Got this from Chatelaine. I haven't tried it, but it looks great for a hot summer day. You might want to try it with Mango juice instead of papaya juice."

I freeze the fruit that I use for smoothies. They turn out extra thick and you don't have to add ice.

Nice taste and refreshing on a hot summer day! I put in extra strawberries so that taste would be more prominent than the banana. I used just under 7 oz of mango juice, since that was the size of the bottle. This is better chilled for a bit in the refrigerator. Thanks!
