Papaya Milk Shakes

In Hawaii, milk shakes made with fresh papaya are unparalleled. Bursting with flavor from fruit picked off the tree just outside the kitchen door, they are as fresh as they could possibly be. My sister and I were in Hawaii to celebrate our birthdays, and as we sat under the beach cabana with sand between our toes, watching the waves crash against the shore, we realized getting older wasn’t too bad after all.
