The vitamin C in both fruits gives your skin that healthy glow, perfect before a big day!

Sneak in some veggies with this clever blend! Papaya’s sweetness hides the taste of spinach or kale perfectly.

This grown-up drink is perfect for summer parties! Blend papaya and watermelon chunks with ice, lime juice, and a splash of rum.

Skip the rum for a kid-friendly version that’s just as tasty on hot days.

Need breakfast in a glass? This filling smoothie has it all! Blend papaya with rolled oats, yogurt, a splash of milk, and a dash of cinnamon.
Let the oats soak for a few minutes before blending for the best texture.
