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

1 fresh -squeezed lemon juice or ½ cup yogurt

METHODS

1. Mix it all in a blender with the other ingredients until it is smooth. If you would like it to be sweeter, you can add some honey.

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉）

Dong Po Rou （东坡肉） – wine braised pork belly. It’s rich and savoury, tender that melts into your mouth. Traditionally, the pork belly is pan-fried before being braised or stewed for one to one and a half hours on low heat. Some of the recipes even call for steaming for an additional half an hour after stewing. It is very time-consuming. But as you are aware, I enjoy making recipes simpler without compromising the taste. You, too, I'm sure. Therefore, I skipped the pan-frying step and proceeded directly to braising the pork after blanching it, and then continued to cook with a pressure cooker. Don't worry; the dish's flavour remains unaffected. I'm hoping this simplified method may come in handy for your regular cooking. Trim off the edges of the pork and cut it into 3x3 cubes. Tie cooking twine around each cube. This will assist the cubes in keeping their form while cooking. If the pork that you bought is at the mid portion of the belly is ideal, there is a nice bala...

Canned braised pork belly (罐头扣肉）

  A must-have dish for the Lunar New Year is steamed braised pork ( 扣肉 ). Some people enjoy making braised pork with yam, while others prefer to use preserved veggies. The key to making braised pork is to boil the meat first, then deep-fry it, and finally steam it. The sauces are the key to enhancing the flavour of the braised pork with either yam or preserved veggies. Of course, choosing pork that is half-fat and lean pork belly tastes the best is also crucial.   You can choose how thinly you want the pork slices. I sliced my pork to a thinness of 10 to 15 mm thinness.  Another crucial tip is to just use wine and no water when preparing the braised pork. I'm using Shaoxing wine, and it's been proven that the more wine you use, the tastier and more fragrant the meat will be and that the meat will remain fragrant after stewing. As I mentioned, this braised pork needs to boil first, then be deep-fried.  For those who find frying meat is very troublesome , you can w...

Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert (白果腐竹薏米糖水)

Do you miss this delicacy of Ginkgo Bean Curd and Barley Sugar dessert? When did you most recently enjoy or make it? Ginkgo, commonly known as ginkgo. It is very popular when used to cook bean curd sheets. I went to a dessert house two days ago. The waitress was serving this dessert to a young lady who was sitting next to me. I overheard that lady comment about that dessert is different from other dessert houses. So, I give it a go. I am not sure how it was different from other dessert houses. But it is different from what I had before. It is creamy, smooth, and rich in flavour. So, I am going to copycat this, and my family loves it so much. Especially youngsters who do not like any small chunks to chew on with liquid dessert. This dessert can be cooked on the stove or pressure cooker. There's a catch, though: Yuba sheets or bean curd sheet, also known as Fu Chuk, come in a variety of forms.   If you opt for making this dessert over a stove, need to choose the kind that disso...
