Peaches & Cream

Filed under: Nutrition, Recipes

It has been a while since I posted a smoothie recipe, so I thought with the heat wave that we are experiencing up here in New England, this is as good a time as ever to post a delicious spring/summer style smoothie.

I know for myself I am a huge fan of peaches (and all stone fruit really – plums, nectarines, apricots, etc). They are one of my favorite parts of summer, as they are incredibly sweet and juicy.

I highly recommend that you purchase organic peaches, or at the very least wash them thoroughly with a veggie wash, as they top the list of the most contaminated produce, with over 92% of peaches containing pesticide residues.

Peaches are a rich source of vitamin A (carotenes), potassium, flavonoids and other phytochemicals, such as lutein and lycopene. Plus they are just freakin’ delicious.

If you want to make it a bigger smoothie, and maybe even more of a treat, adding a 6oz peach Greek yogurt would be a nice touch. You could also add some actual organic cream or replace the walnuts with some coconut oil if you are in the mood for a more tropical feel. Really you are only limited by your imagination!
