Soothing Papaya Ginger Lemon Smoothie #SundaySupper

 

I am doing a double whammy post again today ! I am blogging the letter  P as part of the A-Z blogging challenge. I skipped the letter O, but will be getting to that post tomorrow 🙂 I am also participating in #SundaySupper and the theme is simple easy dishes. I love simple, easy  recipes and am going to share with you one of my easiest 5 ingredient smoothie. I call it a soothing smoothie because it’s a great soothing accompaniment to any meal. Papaya has an enzyme called papain which is a great digestive enzyme and the base of a meat tenderizers. It helps with digestion and is great tummy soother, hence the name : Soothing Smoothie.

 

 

 

Papaya Magic : Papaya  is rich in enzymes called papain and chymopapain which helps with the digestion. It particularly  breaks down the proteins from the food we eat into amino acids. As we age we produce less of the digestive enzymes in our stomach and pancreas, which leads to ineffective digestion of proteins. Papaya fruit is a great delish  source of dietary fiber, folate, vitamin A, C and E. It is also very rich in antioxidant nutrients flavonoids and carotenes, low in calories and sodium.
