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.

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

Lazy dumplings for breakfast

  In our house, when the kids were little, this dumpling was the best breakfast option. Compared to traditional dumplings, this is considerably delicious, healthier, and easier. Having those lazy dumplings made and ready to re-steam for ten minutes as breakfast for kids or adults makes a big difference during the school weekday morning rush. My family will never tire of eating it every day. Family members will occasionally ask to have it made for lunch or perhaps dinner. The dumpling wrapper is the main ingredient in this delicious treat. I'm using store-bought dumpling wrappers since I want to make this dish as simple as possible. It was purchased from the market. It has a completely different filling than the pan-fried Japanese dumplings called gyoza. It has black fungus and scrambled eggs in it.   Egg gives a simple and nutritious breakfast choice. Black fungus has relatively high protein and fiber.   One thing good about this lazy dumpling is you don’t have to pleats along th

Osmanthus fried wings (桂花翅)

Whenever I went to a wedding meal. The first "Hot and Cold" dish, particularly the scrambled eggs with shark fin and crab meats, is always devoured by the diners. It turns out that it goes by the extremely lovely name of osmanthus Wings ( 桂花翅 ). Due to the propaganda to protect sharks. The restaurant no longer serves this dish with shark fins. In Hong Kong, osmanthus fried wings with sweet-scented osmanthus are a unique meal. You can find interesting names for their items on the menu if you ever pay attention to it. when you order something only to discover that it is not what you ordered. This meal is comparable to another one called "ants on the tree,” ( 蚂蚁上树 ) which is stir-fried vermicelli with minced pork. Originally, Osmanthus fried wings are not using real shark fins, but imitation shark fins which are replaced by vegetarian fins are made of gelatin, or you may also substitute with vermicelli. The scrambled egg looks like osmanthus fragrans, so it is called os
