This recipe isn’t an everyday occasion during your raw vegan journey. Think of this as an elaborate raw vegan brunch item. First, you have to carefully craft the coconut yogurt. Allow that to set in the fridge for a couple hours. Then you get to assemble the breakfast boats, which are completely customizable, as long as the toppings are 100% cleanse-approved.
When you go out to purchase a papaya, make sure to get one that is ripe, but not too ripe. If you have them available at your grocery store, purchase a Hawaiian papaya. They are much sweeter and have better flavor than the larger papayas that come from Mexico. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what papaya you get because they are all beneficial for digestive health and immune function. According to many studies, the digestive enzymes in papayas work to move food through the digestive tract. Additionally, the antioxidants in papayas may help reduce inflammation and cholesterol levels.
