My recipe for this Double Fruit Enzyme Smoothie is called the P3B2 Smoothie. Here’s why:
Papaya, Papain
Pineapple, Bromelain
Banana
Fruit Enzyme Power. This smoothie combines the best of two fruit enzymes: papain from papayas and bromelain from pineapples. It has double the enzyme power to revitalize your digestive system…
I love my bold Pineapple Enzyme smoothie.
And my creamy Peach Papaya Smoothie is dreamy bliss.
So now I combine the two for the ultimate in fruit enzymes smoothies. Here’s the recipe…

Can I use frozen pineapple?

Meg,
Compare he taste of a fresh pineapple to a frozen pineapple. The fresh pineapple has a zing-y,zesty flavor that frozen pineapple has lost. My fresh pineapple smoothies and juices actually bubble in fresh enzyme power. This is why I highly recommend using fresh pineapple in this smoothie. And for the papaya, the ideal combo is half fresh and half frozen. I am so in love with the authentic papaya taste of TJ’s frozen papaya (see my review on blog) that I usually just use all frozen papaya and all fresh pineapple.
Great question!
