This smoothie is made with fresh, raw papaya. I tend to select green papayas which have not ripened to rosy colors on their skin because I understand through reading “Eating for Beauty” by David Wolfe that the green papayas are enzymatically superior. However… I’ve used raw papaya at ever stage of ripeness for this smoothie! It’s great to use as a facial while you make it, too.

Can you please tell me if the papaya that you used for the smoothie is raw, or ripe? Thanks!
