It will take you 5 minutes to prepare this healthy smoothie recipe for picky eaters! My large family loves this yummy, refreshing Papaya Smoothie.
The papaya is a sweet fruit, but the flesh has an unusual odor that can be off-putting to some people. Which is why, turning it into a smoothie will instantly turn it into a favorite!
Papaya’s uniquely tropical flavor blends well with other fruits from the region such as pineapple, banana and mango. Perfect summer drink! It’s a budget-friendly way for your picky eaters to have a healthy smoothie that tastes like a dessert.
If your home is like mine…. summers can be the best of times and the worst of times. When you have a big family finding delicious treats that are good for your kiddos can be expensive and not so healthy. Luckily we have some great options.
