Papaya lends an exotic note to this easy and healthful breakfast-in-a-glass. If you don’t have a papaya, try it with a mango.

3/4 cup papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup fresh strawberries
1 cup LACTAID® Reduced Fat Milk
1 tablespoon honey, or as needed
3 large ice cubes
Papaya or strawberry slices (optional)
Fresh mint (optional)
- In a blender container combine papaya, strawberries, LACTAID® Reduced Fat Milk, and honey. Cover and blend until smooth.

Notes:
Papaya Tips: Choose papayas that are partially yellow and feel slightly soft when pressed. The skin should be smooth and free from bruises or very soft spots. A firm, unripe papaya can be ripened at room temperature for 3 to 5 days until mostly yellow to yellowish orange in color. Store ripe papayas in a paper or plastic bag in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
