Papaya Smoothie

I have been fighting a cold in 100 degree weather. UGH! In order to feel better and get healthy, I made an appointment with my acupuncturist, Lexi, for an acupuncture session and cupping. She is amazing at what she does and I strongly believe in her chinese medicine treatments.  After my session, I started to feel better, and craved a smoothie. I had Mexican papaya on hand, and I didn't want it to go to waste. It is a rejuvenating fruit, and it helps your body receive the maximum level of nutrients to aid digestion and inflammation.   Cheers to my health and to Lexi!  



ingredients 

2-3 cups papaya, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup fresh pineapple juice 
1 lime, juiced

  1. I just got a papaya today. I usually make a shake out of it but now will try this smoothie. Sounds yum!

    1. Just add some milk, sugar and crushed ice to the papaya. Mix in a blender, that's it. :-)
