Mango Papaya Smoothie
Rate This Recipe:
Boost your digestive health with our Mango Papaya Smoothie! Rich in papain, the enzyme in papaya that eases protein digestion, it's the perfect blend for women over fifty. I like this bright orange, vibrant looking drink loaded with protein and 12g of fiber thanks to the chia seeds, papaya and mango. Papaya is also a good source of vitamins, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E. These antioxidants can help reduce oxidative stress, which tends to increase during menopause. Embrace a smoother digestion and a healthier body with every tasty sip

Kitchen Tips
- Use frozen fruit to get that thick, icy texture without needing extra ice. If using fresh fruit, just toss in more ice cubes.
- Add greens like spinach or kale if you want to sneak in extra nutrients—just know it will mute the tropical color.
- Want it sweeter? Add half a banana or a splash of orange juice.
Kitchen Tools You’ll Want
- High-speed blender – For a super creamy texture
