Papaya and Spinach Smoothie

- Time 10"
This refreshing, nutritious, and easy smoothie makes the perfect quick breakfast or energizing light meal. I suggest using papaya here, but other tropical fruits such as mango or pineapple can be used as well. If you're new to papaya, it's worth mentioning that the fruit has been shown to improve constipation, IBS symptoms, and skin aging. If you don't mind the bitterness, sprinkle the black papaya seeds on top for additional nutritional benefits.
