Papaya Milkshake

Papaya milkshake is not only a delicious drink, it has lots of nutritional benefits:

– Wonder of the nature “Papaya” improves digestive system and prevents heart disease, arthritis, cataract formation, lungs disease,  cancers and many more.
– It is also good for healthy and younger looking skin.
– It has loads of antioxidants and flavonoids.
– It  is high in vitamin ( A, B,C, E, K) and minerals like magnesium, folate, beta carotene, lutein and more.

I personally don’t love papaya but when it is papaya milkshake I can have it just glass after glass. Addition of vanilla ice-cream makes it truly heaven.

Tips: 

•  When you are going to shop for a ripe papaya, always look for skin that is turning from greenish to yellowy.  This is normal if you found some parts of  the papaya bruised. Press the skin with your thumb. If it feels like soft or mushy or it has a sweet smell to it, the papaya is overripe. Green-skinned and firmer papaya will ripe approx. within 1-3 days om your counter.
