Time flies! Only few days ago I was walking dawn the Copacabana beach. Believe it or not, I already missed my short vacation. But no matter where I am one thing stays unchanged - my love for the exotic produce that makes each vacation in the tropics so unforgettable.
Here are two recipes for you to try. If you recently recovered from a very cold winter this might be exactly what you need.
~ Papaya Boat with Raspberries ~
Ingredients:
- ripe papaya
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- juice of 1 lime
Method:
- Wash and cut the papaya lengthwise in two halves.
- Scoop the seeds out, but do not discard them. You can use them to make delicious salad dressing later on.
- Pour half of the juice all over the papaya "boats."
- Wash raspberries and arrange them inside the papaya. Pour the remaining lime juice over raspberries. Done! All you need now is a good company to enjoy this tropical treat even more.
~ Papaya Raspberry Smoothie ~
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe papaya, peeled, seeded and chopped
- 1 cup raspberries, washed
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and chopped
- juice of 1 lime
- 1 cup coconut water
- few ice cubes
Method:
- Place all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
- Pour into tall glasses and enjoy in good company!
I have chosen ripe raspberries for my recipes. You can use mixed berries if you prefer. Make sure, though, that you are buying organic produce.
