Irresistible Papaya Pineapple Smoothie
If you've never thought to blend papaya into a smoothie, you're in for a treat. Papayas lend a creamy texture to a fruit or green smoothie. Being here in Tamarindo, Costa Rica, I've been eating a lot of papaya and pineapple. I love blending both into a smoothie with ginger and cucumber for a refreshing snack. Papayas uniquely tropical flavor blends well with other fruits from the region such as pineapple, banana and mango.
I love that papayas are high in vitamin C and are a good source of folate, potassium, fiber and vitamins A, E and K. Papayas are rich in antioxidants and the enzyme papain, which helps promote digestive health.
