Papaya and Watermelon Smoothie- Smoothie rich in Antioxidants and Vitamin-C

                             Almost in every home, kitchen experimenting starts when the kids runs out of a healthy ingredient. This happens in my home too, again with a grown up kid, my husband. Before my kid says no to a healthy ingredient, my husband stands before her to say no. I really have to think of combinations when it comes to fruits and veges. Papaya falls on the above kind.

                  The unusual odour of papaya may turn off many. But still it has good source of antioxidants, vitamin C, folate, potassium, fiber and vitamins A, E and K.The lycopene content of papaya prevents cancer too. Watermelon is also similar to papaya with lots of antioxidants and many more nutrients. Hence tried making a healthy smoothie with papaya and melon, which has no loss of fibre as well.
