Healthy, because
Papaya contains papain, which is a natural digestive aid. The protein-splitting enzyme supports intestinal activity and helps boost the metabolism.

This is also delicious with fresh pineapple! If you want to speed up the process, use fruit pulp from a jar or can. Choose one that reads "no added sugar" or "naturally sweet" on the label.
