Our papayas in the south run up to twice the size of a cantaloupe,obviously much too large to use two in this recipe. Use your judgement. About 2cups of papaya cubes would make two tall glasses of smoothie. Select theripest for best flavor. If not ripe enough, you may have to add a little sugarto the smoothie. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 101. PASSIONATE PEACH SMOOTHIE 1 can peaches in syrup1 frozen banana

1 cup Ben and Jerry's Purple Passion Sorbet 1 can peach nectar 2 cups grape juice Blend until smooth. It lives up to it's name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 102.

I usually have to stir it up abit during blending if I didn't put quite enough liquids in. I've madevariations substituting ice cubes for the frozen fruit and adding otherfresh fruits or even cocoa powder and the other half banana.Substituting the fresh fruits sometimes requires a little extra liquid, and when I dothe banana and cocoa powder, I definitely have to add more liquid, usuallyrice milk or water. The ice cubes make a more grainy texture than the frozenpeaches. Any way you make it, it's a delicious, nonfat, somewhatnutritious treat, treat, treat! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 103.
