Peach Pie Smoothie

The weather in Houston has been high and low, wet and dry, balmy and chilly. And that's just in the last week. And while I think most of us would be okay with the searing hot temperatures of summer holding off a little bit longer, that doesn't mean that we want to hold off on the good things summer has to offer. 

The tasty things.

Like, barbecue in the backyard, and fresh vegetables, and fruit...and peach pie. Except that peach pie isn't healthy and doesn't fit in with most of our diet programs or align with our fitness goals. The good news, is that there is a smoothie to solve that. 

A sweet and satisfying delicious-as-dessert smoothie to satisfy your need for your favorite summer flavors, while keeping your goals in check. We got you.

Peach Pie Smoothie

Gather:

1/2 cup milk of your choice. (Almond, Coconut, Whole, Goat...whatever)

1/2 cup of nonfat yogurt

1 tbsp honey (use local to get anti-allergy benefits!)

1/4 tsp vanilla 

1 cup frozen (preferably FRESH frozen) peaches

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch nutmeg

Pinch Ginger

Method:

If you don't have fresh, in-season peaches yet in your area (but you're still craving) then using frozen unsweetened is fine. If not, core a peach and slice it into 6-8 pieces, then freeze. Freezing the peaches first will give the smoothie a better consistency and eliminate the need to add ice. 

-Put all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.
