Healthy papaya smoothie with orange and lemon

My sister-in-law always prepares 2 or 3 papayas for me to bring home whenever the papayas are ripe in my hometown. Or, on occasion, I scale the tree to collect the ripe papayas one by one. When you eat it, you must eat it whole, or all the juice will drain away. To be delicious and healthy while having fun, blend a cup of papaya juice.

Papaya plays the role of moistening the lungs, according to the Traditional Chinese physician. It is simpler for the body to absorb enough nutrients when the lungs are adequately moisturized since they can better stimulate the blood. As a result, our skin becomes smooth, soft, and delicate, wrinkles are diminished, and the complexion is pink. The papaya's ability to enhance beauty is what makes it so popular among women.

In addition, the enzymes in papaya will aid in the breakdown of meat, lessen the strain on the digestive system, aid in digestion, and prevent constipation. Papaya can also soothe and improve the appearance of pregnant women and teenagers by balancing and enhancing the physiological and metabolic balance of their hormones.

Papaya is not only delicious but also has high nutritional value. More than 17 different types of amino acids, calcium, iron, etc. are all abundant in papaya. An adult can get enough vitamin C for the entire day with just half of the medium papaya. Papayas have 48 times more vitamin C than apples. In China, papaya is referred to as the "fruit of longevity."

Papayas have thick and delicate pulp, a strong aroma, and sweet and lots of juice, match with orange juice and lemon juice to create a tropical flavour. Orange juice can bring a tropical citrus punch to the smoothie.

If you read my blog about beverages, you will see that I never give my smoothie any milk or water. Orange juice is always incorporated into my smoothie. The orange is almost entirely liquid. Know that adding an orange to a smoothie on the fly is more like adding water than anything else. The orange flavour is at least preferable to water.

Let us get all the ingredients to hand and detailed instructions to make this tropical smoothie brightens your mood as much as it brightened mine.

500g papaya flesh

2 cups fresh-squeezed orange juice, add more according to individual preference

Fried Taro Puff Dumplings (Woo KOK 芋角)

Taro puff dumplings or Woo Kok ( 芋角 ) are another must-eat snack when you go to a restaurant. The outside is honeycomb-shaped, and the inside is soft and smooth. Even if you go to a restaurant to eat, not every restaurant makes them crispy. And for that reason, I decided to learn how to make this snack. Someone once told me, because of the complicated workmanship, it is difficult to make at home. She advised me not to spend effort on it. If you know me well, I always like to challenge my limits. Today, I will show you how to make them! The fillings of taro dumplings must contain pork, dried shrimps, and mushrooms! The filling can be prepared one day ahead. The dumpling skin is made of taro paste. I am using Areca taro ( 槟榔芋 ). It has a tough, brown exterior with an interior that is white/beige in color with purple flecks. The ideal taro for this recipe will be more mature and starchier. The hardest and most tiresome step of the entire process is frying Woo Kok. A crispy crust w...

Steamed Spareribs With Sand Ginger （沙姜蒸排骨）

Steamed spareribs with sand ginger is a delicious Cantonese dish. The main ingredients are spareribs and sand ginger. Sand ginger, also known as galangal, is a spicy spice that adds a unique flavor to this dish. It is one of four types of galangals, a rhizome in the ginger family. Fresh sand ginger is paler in color on the inside and woodier and coarser in texture than standard ginger. As a result, it is more difficult to peel and grate. So, I just cleaned it with a tiny brush and chopped it with the skin. Fresh sand ginger might not be available at other places, so they will powder form instead. When dried, the flavor becomes a little less intense. I love how the fresh sand ginger tastes when combined with other spices or ingredients to create the sauce for meat. Apart from the ribs, I also add glass noodles and yuba or dried tofu skin. The ribs, glass noodles and dried tofu skin absorb all the sauce, enhanced by the flavor of sand ginger and oyster sauce. You can use san...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms （虫草花香菇蒸鸡）

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
