How to eat papaya? well that's the good question. You can slice and consume it as raw, which is the best option.
But what to do, if we want to serve fussy eating children?
Stop worrying,
Serve them as smoothies/ milkshakes, salads, however, they prefer. Can we make a milkshake with papaya? Yes, of course, We can. Ripen papayas are perfect to make a drink.
What to do, if the papayas are not ripened and still firm to touch? roll them in a paper and leave it in the kitchen counter for a couple of days until it reaches the desired condition.
I have added sugar and whipped cream topping as I was serving it for my teen son. But preferably you can substitute sugar, with natural sweetener like honey. And It does taste yummy without whipped cream topping too. So avoid it as well to bring down the calorie intake of papaya milkshake.
How to cut papaya? 1. wash and clean the papayas, 2. Peel them with the help of peeler/knife, 3. cut them into half, 4. remove all the seeds, 5. scrape the hair-like structures in between seeds and the flesh, 6. Cut them into cubes.
