Papaya

To start, this wonderful treat begins with the amazing Papaya fruit, also called Papaw. This low calorie, high-fiber melon is entering peak season now. Growing best April through June, it offers a long list of nutrients and benefits.

Nutritional information

One cup of this sweet treat contains only 62 calories, 11 grams of sugar and no fat. It has a glycemic index of 60. To go on, papaya provides a long list of vitamins including, but not limited to vitamin C, K, E, and A. The score does not end there! Papaya also boosts minerals including calcium, Magnesium, and potassium.

Rounding off the list of nutritional superstars are Zeaxanthin, Lycopene, and Papain. Papain is good for dissolving proteins and gluten. As a result, it is often used as a meat tenderizer or as an ingredient in digestive aids.

As an extra benefit, the papaya seeds are also edible and nutritious. They can be eaten raw or seasoned and toasted. These little black seeds are anti-viral, anti-parasitic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic.

Make it a Bowl

To make eating easier, cube the fruit and serve it in a bowl. Picky people or little eyes may find it more appealing! No matter what style you choose, do not forget to add the citrus oil to your yogurt before placing it on the fruit! Adding one drop of citrus essential oil takes plain yogurt from average to irresistible. http://www.mydoterra.com/denisekuhn

More Nutrition

Luckily, the nutritional content of this recipe grows tremendously by throwing in additional ingredients. First, the fructooligiosaccharides in bananas help support the production of healthy gut bacteria. Next, the medium chain fatty acids in coconut are beneficial for brain, bone, and heart health. These fatty acids also curb the appetite and provide anti-microbial effects for good oral health. Finally, Rasins provide antioxidants, polyphenols, potassium, and iron. To top it all off, the synergistic combination of the ingredients in this recipe improves overall nutrient absorption.
