Minty Purple Peach Smoothie Recipe

Today is the first day of the 6 week Eat to Live trial and I opted for a fruit smoothie for breakfast. I picked up fresh Chilton County peaches at the produce stand yesterday and decided to pair them with frozen blueberries and fresh mint for a very refreshing start to the morning.  I could easily have doubled this recipe and still eaten it all myself. And check out the nutritional info below – eating lots of fruits and vegetables is the easiest way to get fiber on a gluten free diet. Who needs All-Bran when you can have a smoothie instead!

Instructions

  • 2 peaches, unpeeled
  • 1 c.  blueberries, frozen
  • 5-6 mint leaves
  • 1/2 c. soy milk*

Roughly chop the peaches and place them in the blender with all other ingredients.  Pulse the blender a few times to get the blueberries going, and then let it run for 30 – 60 seconds. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy.

* This is an estimate – I forgot to measure =)

  1. Yum! looks beautiful, and it’s good for you.
    Did it stick with you to lunch time?

  2. Janie,
    It did stick with me till lunch, but I had it rather late in the morning for me (8:30). If I were having it on a weekday I think I would double the recipe or have part of my starchy vegetable/grain allotment with it.
