Chef tips
For a colder, thicker texture, freeze the papaya cubes for 1 to 2 hours before making the smoothie. If you prefer a milder flavor, slightly reduce the ginger.
Substitutions
You can replace the milk with oat drink for a more cereal-forward profile. Honey can be swapped for maple syrup. Pumpkin seeds can be replaced with sunflower seeds for a similar finish.
