Summer Fruit Smoothies:
There is nothing like fresh peaches in the summer to provide a great base for smoothies. Here are a couple of my favorite recipes for peaches:
Vanilla Peach Shake
1 cup of sliced peaches
8 ounces of water
2 scoops of Vi-Shape shake mix
¾ cup low fat vanilla yogurt (Greek)
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup of ice cubes
Mix in a blender until smooth.
Refreshing Peach Cooler
8 ounces water
2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix
1 cup of peach slices (freeze them to make it creamier)
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 cup of ice
Mix together until smooth – then add 4 ounces of club soda to give it a fizz.
Have the urge for peaches, but you can only find frozen peaches? Sometimes frozen peaches are better than fresh peaches that are picked before they are ripe.
Peach Milk Smoothie
8 ounces of almond milk
1 cup frozen unsweetened sliced peaches
2 scoops Vi-Shape shake mix
1 cup of ice
¼ cup of frozen orange juice concentrate
Mix in a blender until smooth and serve.
Ginger-Peach Smoothie
8 ounces of almond milk
1 cup of frozen unsweetened sliced peaches
2 scoops of Vi-Shape shake mix
1 cup of ice
¼ cup of ginger ale
¼ teaspoon of fresh minced ginger root
Mix in a blender until smooth.
Peach Mango Smoothie
8 ounces of almond milk
2 scoops of Vi-shape shake mix
1 fresh sliced peach
1 fresh sliced mango (I buy them pre-sliced)
1 orange – sliced – or ½ cup of orange juice
Mix in a blender until smooth.
