Earlier this summer, one of my oldest friends from college and I finally made it out to our long awaited Girls Spa Day.  It was so relaxing.  We did pedicures with fabulous aqua colors and sparkles, and then I had a great organic citrus facial.  At the end of our visit, we relaxed in the relaxation room as we sipped on the spa’s special elixir.   It was really nice and I asked what it was—“strawberry papaya juice” they said.  Fast forward to last week—It was a nice lazy Sunday morning and I had just cut open newly ripened papaya.

Strawberry Papaya Sparkling Spa Elixir

Here are the ingredients:

Strawberries, papaya, handful of fresh mint, and some seltzer water to taste.

Simply add the papaya and fresh strawberries to your blender.  Blend until smooth.

Fill your glass half way with the juice, then fill the rest with some seltzer water.  Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Once you try it, you’ll want it every lazy weekend.  So go for it and may all your weekends be lazy and filled with sparkle!
