Papaya Lime Breakfast Boats

If you like papaya, you’ll love this Mexican breakfast — 10 minutes from craving to table. Each serving lands at 220 calories with 3g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

Ingredients

• 1/2 Papaya
• 1 Lime
• 2 tbsp Coconut flakes
• 1 tbsp Pepitas
• 2 tbsp Fresh mint
• 1/2 tsp Chili-lime salt

Steps

1. Choose a papaya that yields gently at the stem end and smells sweet.
2. Halve it lengthwise and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
3. Squeeze half the lime over each boat; acid keeps the color bright and wakes up the flavor.
4. Fill the hollows with coconut flakes and pepitas.
5. Dust lightly with chili-lime salt; the heat-salt-sweet trio is the point.
6. Tear mint over the top and serve with lime wedges.
