Hey guys! I hope you all had a great weekend! I have had a really busy week with work so things around the blog have been a little slower than usual. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty busy too with summer camps and more work commitments but I am hoping to keep up with a couple of posts per week. I am also working on a new summer decluttering plan that will begin next Monday and run through Labor Day, so if you are wanting to “lighten up” a bit this summer, I hope you will join me! {Don’t worry – it won’t be anything too time consuming!}
So speaking of lightening up, I have a healthy summer smoothie recipe to share with you today. I have been making a ton of breakfast smoothies lately and this strawberry peach smoothie has been a favorite of mine. There are a few different variations that I have tried so don’t be afraid to play around with it a bit to find your personal taste preference.
- 1 cup orange juice or almond milk
- ½ cup vanilla or strawberry Greek yogurt
- 1 peach, peeled and sliced {or equivalent in canned peaches}
- ¾ cup strawberries {I like to freeze mine}
- 3-4 ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds {optional for extra nutrients}
- honey to taste if additional sweetening needed
- Mix the first 6 ingredients together in a blender until smooth. Stir in some honey for additional sweetness if desired.
The kids like it best with the orange juice but I usually stick with the almond milk to cut down on the sugar and calories. I like my smoothies thick and creamy so, if I remember, I will freeze my fruits the night before. This recipe also works great for making popsicles – just make sure to use the orange juice rather than the almond milk and leave out the ice cubes. Pour it into popsicle molds and you are good to go!
Enjoy!!
