Spicy Pineapple Papaya Smoothie

This smoothie reminds me of February’s spent in the Santa Monica sunshine with a big ol cup of fresh Fruit, drenched in Chili Powder & Lime.

I love love love spicy food, so obviously I had to make a spicy smoothie. Feel free to add more than the recommended amount of Cayenne Pepper if you want a lil more of a kick.

I just love how energizing this blend is, it really wakes you up on a groggy morning.
