Ingredients

2 cups fresh papaya peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk canned or carton
0.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks adds natural sweetness and bromelain
1 tbsp fresh ginger peeled and finely grated
1 tbsp ground flax seeds for added fiber
0.5 tsp ground turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits
1 tbsp fresh lime juice to brighten flavors
1 tsp honey optional, or manuka honey for extra health benefits

Notes

For the best digestive benefits, drink on an empty stomach. You can store leftovers in an airtight glass jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural; simply shake well before drinking. If you prefer a thicker, spoonable consistency, reduce the coconut milk to 1/2 cup and use all frozen fruit.
