Why Papaya and Banana Make the Perfect Pair
Papaya is known for its digestive enzymes, especially papain, which helps break down proteins and ease bloating. It’s also rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, making it a natural cleanser for the digestive system.
Banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness, while providing potassium, magnesium, and prebiotic fiber to support gut health and balanced energy.
Together, they make a smoothie that’s light yet nourishing — easy on the stomach, but full of flavor and benefits.
