Personally, I love papaya, but I know that not everyone loves the texture. If that’s your case, this smoothie is an excellent way to get all the health benefits of papaya. The fruit is rich in Vitamin C, folate, and fiber, and it has been known to protect against heart disease, have anti-inflammatory effects, and offer immune support. This smoothie can be ready in 5 minutes, and it serves 2 people. Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups frozen ripe papaya cubes
1 small ripe banana, sliced, peeled, and frozen
1-2 tsp minced ginger
2 limes, juiced
1/2 cup carrot juice
1/2 cup light coconut milk
Method
-Combine all ingredients in a blender until the texture is smooth.
-Add additional carrot juice if blending is difficult.
-Add a tsp of agave if it needs a little sweetness.
-Serve and enjoy!
