This is a sponsored Post but the opinion and review is mine. I have personally tried this product and totally love it.
Green Papaya Powder Spinach Quinoa Smoothie is a great post workout beverage. Its protein rich and loaded with nutrient loaded.
Let’s talk about quinoa and the idea of blending this nutritious grain in a smoothie and to add more health to it I played around with the idea of trying Green Papaya Powder from Herbal Papaya.
Yes! I agree with you all. So many thoughts and questions crossed my mind as well while blending this smoothie. Green papaya powder was so new to me and I was kind of a bit skeptical too, but as you all know when it comes to health I love to try all that healthy food, so I willingly decided to try this new healthy and nutritious powder, which is an extract of green papaya.
And guess what?
It’s herbal and organic and after sipping on this smoothie for almost every day for a week I thank Herbal Papaya for sending this wonderful pack of nutritious bomb which I totally love.
To add to my delight they even offered discounted price of 10% for you all. Don’t wait, avail this offer and order nutritious green papaya powder pack now and use this code to get your discount “PAPAYASUN”.
Ingredients for Green Papaya Powder Spinach Quinoa Smoothie
The flavor of green papaya powder and cooked quinoa blended with fresh baby spinach in almond milk and sweetened with fresh banana won my taste buds forever.
So, as we all know the greener the smoothie healthier it is and I totally believe in this concept I decided to try a combination of Green Papaya Powder Spinach Quinoa Smoothie.
Well, I know the name is a bit long but I had to add all of that for my after workout meal with balanced nutrition.
Even though the name of this smoothie is a bit long it only take about 10 minutes to make this smoothie and another 2 minutes to pour this deliciousness into your favorite glass and just sip down to quench your thirst and replenish your body.

I was wondering which drinks would work best for my post-workout routine and here it is – your recipe is in front of me. I love the color of it, too!
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
That is complete package of energy after a good workout. I like the addition of quinoa to the smoothie. I will try it next time for my husband as he does not prefer quinoa in its actual form. He might not even know it is there in this smoothie.
Emma says
Whoa! This smoothie looks delicious, but I was wondering if I can replace the green papaya powder with whole green papaya? and if so, how much would it take?
Gunjan says
Hi Emma, You can substitute green papaya powder with whole green papaya. Measure the whole green papaya to 1 cup chopped. The taste will differ slightly from the original recipe and you may want to adjust sweetener according to your taste. Hope you enjoy this smoothie and let me know how it turned out for you. 🙂
