Papaya Pineapple Green smoothie

Is it possible to get addicted to something healthy?
If it is, would you call it bad?
For me the latest "addiction" is the morning smoothie.
I have been trying out various combinations, and most times the results have been yummy.

 General rules to keep in mind when it comes to mixing up smoothies:
  1. Sweet fruits and sweet sour fruits can go together.
  2. Sour fruits are a category of their own.
  3. Fruits and vegetables never go together.
  4. Once in a while can add soaked nuts to create texture, and dried fruits for sweetness.
  5. Green leaves can go well with fruits or vegetables.
  6. Melons can be combined with other melons only.
  7.  While fruits like bananas and papaya can be used every day, its wise to keep pineapples and watermelon as "treat" options.
  8. Pulpy fruits form the best base for green smoothies.
 Today's green smoothie :

Recipe:
1/2 a medium sized papaya (very ripe)
1/2 a small sized pineapple
1 bunch of fresh curry leaves.
 Process:
Blend them together.  No sieving.
Tastes best if the fruits have spent sometime in the refrigerator!
Wishing all a very healthy start to your day!
