*~~~~~Papaya Smoothie~~~~~*

J absolutely LOVES papaya (no wonder it's reputably called "fruit of the angels")! also might have something to do with the fact I CRAVED these smoothies when preg, along with olives and grapefruit juice and he loves those as well; kids got a weird palate;)......................It's rich in vit A & C (both essential vits for boosting that immune system; esp. during flu season), has more vit C than oranges! Also rich in folate, vit E, and helps with digestion (maybe another reason I craved when growing fetus was rearranging my insides). See, this is what happens when you're a stay at home mom: You get really excited about papaya (and Elmo).

Enjoy~
