Juicing Method
I keep the cap closed when making this juice to help blend the flavours.
Start by pouring the passion fruit pulp and seeds in the juicer.
You need to alternate the oranges in between the soft flesh of the mango and papaya.
Add half the mango pieces one at a time. Go slowly as the press needs time to push the flesh through. Then add one orange to help push the mango through.
Next add half the papaya followed by another orange. Again, go slow with the papaya.
Repeat the mango, orange, papaya, orange feeding combination one more time. Keep an eye on the bowl and release the cap once the bowl gets full of juice.
Let the juicer run for a minute at the end to completely push all the fruit through.
Tip: To select a fully ripe mango, look for smooth, leather-like skin as well as a pleasant aroma. The skin should give a little without being mushy.
Healthy Benefits
This juice recipe has over 400mg of plant-based vitamin C to help keep your immune system strong.
Papaya is high in ascorbic acid content of vitamin C and the flesh is very high in vitamin A. Both are needed for the proper function of a healthy immune system and are made in the body from the beta-carotene found in the papaya.
Preventing such illnesses as recurrent infections, colds and flu, papaya is a healthy fruit choice.
Mangoes have over 25 types of carotenoids, high in vitamin C and vitamin A to help boost the immune system and prevent all kinds of ailments. They target the heart, muscles and skin for healing and repair.
When combined with oranges and passion fruit you immune system will be getting all the healthy nutrients it needs.
