May’s Recipe: Lemon Papaya Boats, Nutmeg Macadamia Cheese

May 16, 2011

This is a favorite springtime breakfast or snack that aids in digestion and assists with healthy assimilation.
Papaya may prevent constipation with the protein called papain, a natural digestive enzyme.
Macadamia dairy-free cheese is cultured and enhanced with Young Living’s Life 5™ probiotic, which promotes good intestinal flora.
Young Living lemon and nutmeg essential oils complement each component and add a mild, fresh flavor to the dish.
Until next month: Orange Banana Ice Cream, Mint Raspberry Coulis
Happy Eating!
