Papaya Boat Breakfast
Quick and easy breakfast idea
One of my favourite go-to breakfasts is quick and easy, and doesn’t require me to stay in the kitchen too long.
Papayas are packed with rich nutrients, high in fibre, and great for women's health. Carotene can stimulate the uterus and help regulate the menstrual cycle, reducing period cramps and promoting regularity.
I am also quite big on eating the seeds with the papaya or saving them for smoothies, as they are great for improving digestion, helping boost immunity, and helping support the kidney and liver health.
Papaya boats are so easy because you can add whatever you like with them, eat with a spoon, or slice them and eat with your hands!
Go-to Ingredients for Papaya Boats:
Pumpkin Seeds
Yogurt (Siggi’s is my favourite brand)
Blueberries
Bananas
Chia Seeds
Hemp hearts
Almond Butter
Granola
The possibilities are endless and leave you feeling satisfied until your next meal. My rule of thumb for all meals is to always have a Protein, Fibre, and Fat to help stabilize blood sugar.
