WATERMELON PAPAYA RUM SMOOTHIE

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups watermelon cubes frozen

1 cup coconut milk

1/2 cups fresh pineapple

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup papaya, frozen

1 tablespoon agave

2 oz white rumpinch salt

DIRECTIONS

Instead of adding yogurt like many-a-smoothie, add in some coconut milk which gives it not only a creamy texture, but adds a tropical note that pairs so well with the papaya. Use canned coconut milk for a thicker constancy, but you can also use refrigerated coconut milk for a lighter beverage.

Ice can often water down a smoothie, so one of my favorite tricks is freezing fruit before blending. Freezing the coconut milk in an ice cube tray will also keep this concoction frozen longer without getting watered down, not that it will stick around for long anyways!
