This Papaya Coconut Banana Smoothie is loaded with Vitamin C and tastes like you’re in a Tropical Paradise! We made this version Dairy Free!
For breakfast today, we’re experimenting with something new, Papaya, Coconut, and Banana in a smoothie!
I ♥ Papayas.
I could sit down and eat a whole Papaya to myself (even the seeds, I love the peppery taste of the seeds).
But today I decided not to add the seeds to the smoothie, because I wanted my son to try this (well ok I added a few…shhh 🙂 ).
Turns out, he loved the smoothie, yay! I love it when I get the ‘Gavin Approval’, sometimes that’s hard to get with a picky 13 year old! 🙂
Papaya has so many health benefits:
- It’s rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
- It has special digestive enzymes that can often relieve digestive problems.
- It has Vitamin A which will help keep your eyes and vision healthy.
- It can help protect your skin against free radicals known to cause damage that leads to wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Papaya truly is a Superfood!
If you try this and love this as much as I do, show some love and leave a comment below and rate it – it’s really helpful for me and other readers. 🙂
And don’t forget to take a picture and Hashtag it #Tastefulventure on Instagram so I can see!
Cheers!
