Velvety papaya juice

The sweet and buttery papaya with a musky fragrance makes a delicious velvety juice. Its flavours and texture are enhanced by oranges and apples, which add a touch of acidity without overpowering this soft fruit. The creaminess of papaya makes it a perfect weekend breakfast accompaniment for fresh home made rolls and jam. Vibrant in colour and loaded with nutrients, it is a serious competitor for a morning coffee.

Bright and fresh, ideal for adding sunshine to any breakfast


Ingredients for roughly 2 glasses

- 2 washed papayas
- 2 washed oranges
- 1 washed apple



Preparing the juice

Cut the papayas in half lengthways and use a spoon to remove the black seeds. Then peel the skin off with a sharp knife and quarter the fruit. Although soft, don't be tempted to leave the skin on as it is very bitter and will spoil the taste. Afterwards, peel the oranges.

Use a centrifugal juicer to extract the goodness from the fruit. Start with the whole apple then oranges and lastly the papaya.

Refrigerate for 20 minutes or pour into chilled glasses.
