Super Fruit guava papaya smoothie loaded with digestive enzymes will transport you right to the tropics. I was on vacation in Chicago last week and I found some guavas. I love guavas!! Grew up eating them off the trees and let me tell you, nothing beats the taste of plucking a raw or ripe guava off a tree and biting into it. I also remember eating them with a little chili sprinkled on them. Mmm delish! Anyway I bought a lot of these babies and after eating some decided to blend the rest into a smoothie. Teamed with ripe papaya, a little parsley and ginger I got just the taste I was looking for. Sweet and tart with the distinct taste of guava. There’s something magical about blending fruit together and this guava papaya smoothie is proof! If you can get hold of some guava, try blending it with some papaya and make this super fruit papaya smoothie. You can also get guava puree in the frozen section of your grocery store. Your digestive system will thank you !
Nutrition Wise!
Guavas are considered a super fruit. Loaded with antioxidants, they boast more Vitamin C than an orange. They are also loaded with fiber, lycopene and Vitamin A. No wonder they are called super fruits. Papaya is loaded with digestive enzymes that are so good for you. Digestive enzymes help our body absorb and utilize nutrients more efficiently. Papaya is also rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. All in all a healthy super fruit guava papaya smoothie!

veggie smoothie
This is one perfect smoothie for the summer. And good thing I have some ripe guavas, papayas and other fruits in my backyard.
Guava is very helpful for those who want to lose weight without compromising with their intake of proteins, vitamins and fiber. Guavas are low in calories and fats but contain several vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidant poly-phenolic and flavonoid compounds that play a pivotal role in prevention of cancers, anti-aging, immune-booster, etc. Regular guava consumption can also do the skin good through its vitamin E content. Vitamin E helps maintain healthy skin through its antioxidant properties.
This looks like the perfect breakfast smoothie recipe for summer. I’ve been doing the smoothie thing for awhile now, but my main standby recipes are getting a little old. I’m going to put these ingredients on my list and try it out this week. Thanks for the always delicious recommendations! Hopefully I can find papaya and guava in MIchigan!
ll see much better results with this diet plan than you would with
others that use some generic formula to calculate your nutrient needs.

if Kyle Leon’s system is generally for you or not, let’s look into a few of the benefits and drawbacks of the product.
In general, there is no doubt that the program Kyle
Leon is a popular muscle building system for a good reason and this
is definitely one of the most individual nutrients and online training programs today.
I added the juice of a whole lime instead of ginger and it is equally tasty and refreshing!
That does sound good! I must try it too :)!
