Peachy Morning 4 pts

 

This smoothie tastes best made with ripe peaches picked in season. (

peak months are July and August) When they are the sweetest. Toward the

end of the season ( September and October) They can be somewhat mealy

and lack flavor. When not in peak season, it is best to use frozen

peaches that have been harvested and frozen during their peak. Peaches

are a good source of beta-carotene, manganeses, potassuim, and inostiol.

Inositol is not considered an essential vitamin; however, one of its

many roles is in the body's use of fats and cholesterol. It has been

shown to alleviate or prevent the accumulation of excess fat in the liver.

 

1/2 cup soy milk or milk of choice

1 cup plain low-fat yogurt

1 cup frozen peaches cut into chunks ( if using fresh peaches, cut in

chunks and freeze ahead)

1 cup frozen cherries

1 tablespoon honey or to taste

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

Pour the milk into a blender and add the yogurt, peaches, cherries,

honey to taste, and vanilla. Blend on high speed until smooth and serve

immediately.

 

Serves 2. Each serving 12.5 oz. Each serving 4 pts.
