Papaya and aloe combined calls for a serious gut and skin healing blend. Papaya is super high in beta-carotene, which will give your skin a nice glow if consumed regularly. Papaya also helps to soothe the digestive tract which can make it great for those dealing with any digestive issues such as IBS, bloating, acid reflux and more.
I spoke about the benefits of aloe vera in a previous post here, but it can also help with skin hydration when consumed internally.
Try this pudding out if you’re wanting a boost to dry, dull, winter skin or to help with your tummy!
For this recipe, I blend together 1/2 of a large maradol papaya, 2 inch piece of aloe vera, 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1 tsp of vanilla bean powder.
If you’ve tried papaya before and didn’t care for it or it wasn’t sweet, it's probably because it wasn’t ripe! When a papaya is ripe if will have a mostly yellow color to it and have a slight give when pressing down on it.
Enjoy!
