Today I am enjoying some Papaya juice! This superfood is delicious and loaded with nutrients. Papaya contains a special enzyme called papain. Papain is why it is most known to work as a powerful digestive aid.

But improved digestion and helping the body to detox aren’t the only benefits of papaya. It can also help improve heart health, reduce inflammation, strengthen blood and so much more!

Here are a few recipe ideas using papaya:

• Breakfast: Top Greek yogurt with diced papaya, sprinkle cinnamon and add chopped nuts and seeds.
• Appetizer: Cut it into strips and wrap a slice of prosciutto around each strip.
• Smoothie: Combine the diced fruit with coconut milk, cinnamon and turmeric. Blend until smooth.
• Salad: Chop papaya and avocado into cubes, add shredded cooked chicken and dress with olive oil and lemon.
• Dessert: Combine the chopped fruit with 2 tablespoons of chia seeds, 1 cup of almond milk and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla. Mix well and refrigerate before eating.
