This delicious smoothie is rich in antioxidants and, if you use a slightly less ripe papaya, is also rich in beneficial protein-digesting enzymes. It’s interesting to know that there can be different nutritional benefits from fruit at different stages in the ripening process. It is similar with bananas: the higher levels of resistant starch in less-ripe bananas means the body has to work harder to break it down, therefore we feel fuller for longer.
The recipe comes from Tracy Russell at IncredibleSmoothies. I think Tracy was very clever choosing that name because it means I always think of her as ‘The Incredible Tracy Russell’, lol! And I’m sure I am not alone in this. Anyway, the recipe details are over the page. Tracy’s advice is as follows …
This recipe makes a large, 32-ounce smoothie. It is a meal-replacement smoothie and not a snack. I recommend drinking half right away and the other half about 30 minutes later. If it is too much for you, store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
