I do my best to incorporate as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible to my diet as I believe many of our current health issues are the result of chronic inflammation. So when I find the perfectly ripe papaya, I slice it up to eat all week and to make batidos for a creamy antioxidant treat.
In addition to fighting inflammation, eating papaya can help your skin from the inside out due to their high amounts of lycopene and vitamin C–which help with the renewal of skin cells. It’s one of my favorite fruits for gleaming skin!
This is a simple smoothie recipe that you can personalize with other fruits you may have on hand such as mangoes or strawberries.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup fresh, ripe papaya
1 cup cashew mylk OR your favorite milk (you can find my cashew mylk recipe here)
A few ice cubes
METHOD
Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk as needed to reach the desired consistency. Drink straightaway.
