PAPAYA POWER JUICE
A Papaya Power Juice is a tropical and nutrient-packed drink that provides a refreshing boost of vitamins and hydration. Papaya is naturally rich in digestive enzymes, vitamin C and antioxidants, making this juice an excellent choice for immune support and gut health. The combination of lime juice adds a zesty touch, while honey brings a hint of natural sweetness and balances the flavours perfectly. Add a cup of water to fix the consistency of the juice. This light and revitalising juice is ideal for a morning refresher, a post-workout drink or a cooling beverage on a hot day. With simple ingredients and easy preparation, it’s a delicious way to nourish your body.
