In Latin America licuados or batidos (smoothie/shake) are ubiquitous. You’ll find street vendors selling them, special shops mixing every flavor you can imagine, and local restaurants offering them as part of their regular menu.
When fruit ripens so much that the texture is no longer at its peak, its the perfect time to make one! The taste will be amazing and you wont have wasted the fruit.
Ingredients
1 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 small banana the riper the better
½ large papaya the riper the better
1 cup ice cubes
Sugar as needed
Preparation
Combine the milk, vanilla, banana, papaya, and ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust level of sweetness. Pour into glass and enjoy
If you want to add yogurt you can turn it into a smoothie.
