Cherry Peach Smoothie

July 2, 2020 by Christina Shoup Leave a Comment

This refreshing smoothie is one of my favorite summer smoothies.  The fresh peach and mint are such a great flavor combination. During the summer, I buy extra peaches each week and wait for them to get almost too ripe before transferring them to the refrigerator – this way I have them always ready for this smoothie.  Note: while ripe fresh nectarines also work well, frozen peaches do not.  They just don’t have enough ripe flavor!  

As always, a high powered blender such as a Vitamix is key to making the best smoothie texture.  We were recently on vacation in Lake Tahoe and while the kitchen in our rented home was one of the most stocked kitchens I’ve ever been in (for a rental), our smoothies just weren’t the same without a good blender.  There were chunks of peach peel and ice that just never blended – it was still very drinkable with good flavor, but generally not as enjoyable as usual.  

Here’s to ripe summer fruits and healthy summer snacks!

Cheers,

Note: while fresh nectarines work well, frozen peaches do not. They just don't have enough flavor to make this tasty.
