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.

  Today I will share with you how to make Malay kuih also known as “Ma Lai Gao”.   A steamed sponge cake from Malaysia, drew inspiration from British cakes. Later, Cantonese chefs modified it to become what we now know as dim sum. Traditionally, Ma Lai Gao's starter dough takes 24 hours to prepare. I'll show you how to make Ma Lai Gao quickly and easily today without losing out on texture or flavour. In fact, the appearance of “Ma Lai Kou” is very ordinary, not much different from ordinary cakes on the market, but its preparation method and texture are worth learning from. Because it is a fermented flour product, it has a soft and smooth texture. This recipe doesn't require baking, and the preparation of “Ma Lai Gao” is very simple, and the ingredients are divided into dry and wet. The wet ones are milk and eggs, while the dry ones are powdered ingredients. To put it simply, stir the wet ingredients evenly first, then slowly add the dry ingredients, ferment and then s...

Cassava or tapioca cake can be prepared in several methods, including baking, steaming and wrapping in banana leaves. It can be made with or without eggs and with or without butter. Today, I am going to share how to bake cassava or tapioca cake. Tapioca cake is very easy to make, whether to steam or to bake. The only tedious part is grating. I used to grate them into fine silk manually. But now I blend them with Thermomix to paste form. If you are using a regular blender, add a little water to the blender to blend it together. This cassava cake has a beautiful burnt skin on top and dense golden color inside. My daughter thought it was burnt cheesecake. The texture is soft but firm and not too sticky compared to the steam type. Every bite taste of cassava, coconut milk and the burnt aroma. Not overly sweet and greasy. If using a blender, cut the tapioca into smaller chunks, then carefully cut out the tough, fibrous core from the middle of each piece using a knife.   Once the t...

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...
