Papaya juice recipe, easy, healthy and nutritious

Papaya juice is a popular drink in many tropical countries. It is made by blending papaya, water, and sometimes lime juice. Papaya juice is a refreshing and healthy drink perfect for thirsty people on a hot day. In Mexico is very common to have it also as agua fresca during lunch time.

How to make the juice

There are several different ways to make papaya juice. One method is to blend papaya chunks (here is how to cut a papaya) with water or juice in a blender.

Another way to juice papaya is to use a juicer.

My preferred method is to blend everything. This way, you can make the papaya drink more liquid; papaya juice can be a bit thick.
