Healthy Papaya Smoothie


I don’t know why, but I believe that papayas are in season at least by my neck of the woods, because papayas are less expensive now than at any other time.  Papayas have antioxidants besides when very ripe they are very sweet and tasteful.  Ether way it is wonderful to enjoy a delicious papaya shake.  All you need is milk, a very ripe papaya and some kind of sweetener, (a touch of cinnamon) and waa la! Enjoy.  It is easy to prepare and delightful in taste.
