This was a great way to get my kids to eat (drink) the papaya I buy for myself but can never finish on my own. My daughter's not a huge lime fan, so I halved the amount of lime juice called for, but it was still good that way. I squeezed some extra lime into my own glass, nice and tart flavour, good stuff.

What a tart and fruity delight, and it only took a few minutes to make. I doubled the recipe, using just 2 cups of water and put everything into my blender. It came out so smooth that I didn't even have to strain the mixture. I served it to my son and a group of his friends, and they all gave it a thumbs up! This is the first time I'd ever tried papaya, but they will be in my shopping cart from now on so I can have more of this delicious treat!
