Tropical Fruit and Nut Smoothie - Beat The Heat!



The month of June heralds two very important changes in this part of the globe. The monsoons and the begining of a new academic year. The Met department predicts that monsoon will hit us today. Lets see how accurate they are, till then we continue to beat the heat expectantly.
I've adapted this smoothie from Sanjeev Kapoor's recipes. A great combination of tropical fruits and nuts. Cool and healthy!

  6. I can almost taste this. I've never seen jackfruit in any of my regional/ethnic markets. I read I can substitute papaya so I may have to do that.
