HEALTH & BENEFITS

Papaya is a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, which may help to support healthy digestion and immune function. Pineapple juice contains bromelain, an enzyme that may aid digestion and reduce inflammation. Coconut cream is a good source of healthy fats, but should be consumed in moderation due to its high calorie content.
