Mike's Favorite Papaya Recipes

Recipe

Ripe papaya, cottage cheese, and honey

Thirty seconds, no cooking: halved ripe papaya, cottage cheese, and a drizzle of honey. Mike's actual breakfast.

Prep
3 minutes
Serves
1

Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe papaya, seeded
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Squeeze of lime (optional)
  • Pinch of flaky salt (optional)
  • Pinch of chili flakes or chili powder (optional)

Steps

  1. Halve the papaya and scoop out the seeds.
  2. Spoon the cottage cheese into the hollow where the seeds were.
  3. Drizzle with honey.
  4. Add a squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt if you want it brighter, or a pinch of chili flakes for a little heat. All optional, and it's good without them.

Papaya is more than the app’s namesake. Here’s why it’s good for digestion.

This is the one I actually make most mornings: protein from the cottage cheese, fruit from the papaya, no cooking and no cleanup beyond a spoon. It pairs well with whatever your morning routine already is. The Poopaya app is built around the idea that a consistent morning matters more than any single food.
