Exotic Papaya Smoothies
Papayas are grown in tropical countries and are most available in the summer season, June to September. The colours range from yellow to reddish, depending on the type and are soft to the touch when they are ripe (similar to a ripe peach or avocado). The papaya fruit is loaded with vitamines A, C and E. One cup of cubed papaya has 55 calories and no fat. Here is a collection of papaya smoothies.
