Ingredients:
1 papaya (peeled, seeded and cut into chunks)
1/2 cup of ice cubes
1/2 cup of skimmed Greek yogurt
1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger (peeled and finely chopped)
1/2 tablespoon of honey
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Water to taste
4 fresh mint leaves
Addresses:
Refrigerate the papaya until very cold. With two or three hours in the refrigerator, it will be enough.
In a blender, add the papaya, ice, yogurt, ginger, honey, and lemon juice. Add tablespoons of water while grinding until the mixture is smooth and to the desired consistency. The advisable thing is that it is neither too thick nor too liquid, although you can take it as you like.
Finally, add the mint leaves and make a couple of short pulses in the blender. The idea is to turn it into small pieces, but without losing their integrity.
When serving this smoothie against stomach pain, you can place a sprig of mint on the surface of the glass, as a decoration and as an aroma enhancer.
