Blend the Ingredients:
In a blender, combine the papaya cubes, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, orange juice, lime juice, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add Ice:
Add the ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is fully crushed and the smoothie reaches a thick, frosty consistency.
