Talk about being environmentally friendly and creative at the same time! Papaya boats are clever and scrumptious! Rather than having to blend a smoothie, wash the blender, and the bowl you eat/drink it from, use the papaya flesh as the “smoothie” base and the toppings in the middle! You can even enjoy this in a smaller Golden papaya, especially as an energizing snack later in the day.

Asian-inspired foods have popped up everywhere—from ramen noodle joints to bubble tea cafes! Poke bowls have recently made the list and for a number of good reasons. Pick and choose fresh ingredients you enjoy together—tropical fruits, ahi tuna, edamame, etc.—and you got yourself a tasty and nourishing meal. The best part is that you can easily make your own at home and save the extra $ in your piggy bank!

This recipe has given you two ways to dip your toes in the waters surrounding avocado boats…and trust us, you won’t be turning back.
