Prepare papaya
If not already prepared, peel the papaya, cut it in half lengthwise, scoop out and discard the seeds, then cut the flesh into roughly 1-inch cubes until you have about 2 cups packed.

Combine ingredients
Place the 2 cups cubed papaya, 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 cup milk, 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup), 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (if using) into a blender.

Add ice
Add 1 cup ice cubes to the blender. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, reduce ice to 1/2 cup or increase milk by 1/4 cup.

Blend until smooth
Secure the blender lid and blend on high for 45–90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no large papaya pieces. Pause and scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed, then blend again briefly.

Taste and adjust
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or acidity as desired: add up to 1 more tablespoon honey for sweetness or an additional 1/2 teaspoon lime juice for brightness. Blend 5–10 seconds after adjustments to incorporate.
