I have a deep love for papaya. Not only does it taste delicious, but it is great for you! This beautiful and funky looking fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A and has enzyemes that aid in digestion and debloating. Check out more of papaya’s benefits here. This smoothie is a great way to enjoy a nutrient dense meal that tastes yummy while giving extra love to your digestive track. Smoothies are also a great opportunity to get creative and practice mindful cooking by listening to your intuition on what to add or subtract.
