❤ Green Papaya Smoothie
It’s official: I'm hooked on papayas!Papayas have never been a fave fruit of mine until I started blending them.Yes, I know they are is rich in enzymes called papain and chymopapain which helps with digestion, particularly it breaks down the proteins from the food we eat into amino acids. Even latest research shows that amino acids are responsible for all what is happening in our organism, basically for what is happening in every chemical reaction as well as our mental and physical health.
What's I find particularly amazing is all the parts of the papaya fruit are useful and beneficial. Right from the seeds to the papaya leaves and the flesh of the fruit, all of it has some value. Both the inside and the outside of the fruit can be utilized .Thus no part of the fruit is useless or goes as a waste.
Yet all along, I only ate it because of it's benefits not because I enjoy it. Until, one day I decided to include it in a smoothie. Now, I cant seem to get enough. It is great because along with savouring the taste you are also ingesting all the benefits associated with eating the fruit, which will result in good health for you ! Did you know papaya even works magic on strengthening the immune system preventing the recurrent colds and flu
Yes, it's that good.
