Fresh and Tangy Papaya Avocado Salad

This fresh papaya and avocado salad can work as a delicious breakfast or lunch - especially during a cleanse program or a transition to eating a raw diet.

Some of us prefer chopped fruits but you can slice it, too.  Any way you have it, this salad will help your body cleanse and can help reduce belly bloat.

It's best to eat this alone so the fruits have ample time to digest.  Try different types of citrus juice in place of grapefruit for variety.  

Enjoy this delicious salad as a meal or a snack on a hot day. If you have it for a meal, add walnuts to give yourself a healthy serving of protein!
