Frozen Papaya Chunks. Oh, the Smoothies You'll See...
One of my favorite smoothies ever is the Papaya Paradise form Liquiteria in NYC. Papaya smoothies are awesome. But I could never find frozen papaya chunks at a grocery store until now! Click ahead to find out what store has their own brand of frozen papaya. And read my review....
Yipee to Trader Joe's!
Frozen Papaya Chunks at Trader Joe's. I spotted these Frozen Papaya chunks at my NYC TJ's.
And tomorrow I'll be featuring a delicious smoothie that will leave you dreaming of papaya bliss.
Now for my Papaya Product Review...
Trader Joe's brand Frozen Papaya Chunks
Shelf Appeal: Nice sturdy plastic bag. Holds two servings of Papaya. Pretty pink papaya on front.
Label Check: 55 calories per serving, two servings per bag. Wow! That's quite a nice diet smoothie! Plus papaya is rich in the enzyme papain and other nutrients like potassium and Vitamins C and A. Plus the only ingredients in the bag are 100% pure papaya. Yum.
Taste Test: I like to thaw out frozen fruit and taste test it. Sometimes the thawed fruit is tasteless and mushy. The good brands will have thawed frozen fruit that is bright with zingy flavor and texture. This papaya was fabulous! It had a sweet tropical flavor and the texture remained firm, not mushy. I was very impressed with the flavor. Plus when I tried it in a smoothie it held up very well and the flavor of pure papaya tickled my taste buds.
Price Check: $1.99 for one pack. Great deal to me. The pack looked flat and small but I can easily get three smoothies out of that pack.
Last Word: Finally my Frozen Papaya prayers have been answered! Welcome to the summer of frozen papaya smoothies. Thanks Trader Joe's.
