Strawberry Papaya Smoothie
This mix of strawberries, papaya, and kiwis provides more than double your daily recommended serving of vitamin C in just one glass!
Papayas don't ripen much after they are picked, so when purchasing your papayas ensure they are fully ripe. You can tell a papaya is ripe from the yellow color of its skin and a slightly soft exterior.
