Green Pineapple Papaya Smoothie

a taste of the tropics, refreshingly satisfying cool pineapple papaya smoothie, especially soothing for upset stomachs

Take yourself on vacation with the refreshing flavors of this tropical smoothie. Filled with dark leafy greens that provide us with essential nutrients which help in reducing the risk of certain cancers and heart disease. Dark leafy greens are also low in fat, packed with folic acid, fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and magnesium. Pineapple and papaya also contain their own special wonders. Both fruits contain enzymes that aid in digestion as well as help us better absorb nutrients, maintaining our stomach and intestinal health. Pineapple contains an enzyme bromelain, which speeds up chemical reactions making it an effective fruit in providing assistance towards the digestion of certain proteins. Papayas provide an enzyme called papain which aids in the absorption of certain proteins. Papayas are great in calming diarrhea and nausea and the overall health of our digestive systems. Both enzymes can be found in capsule form but nothing provides the optimal benefits than consuming the nutrients straight from the fruit itself.
