Peaches and Cream Smoothie

A Peaches and Cream Smoothie, made with simple and healthy ingredients, is cool, creamy, and bursting with fresh peach flavor.

I love to keep lots of fresh fruit in the house to eat with breakfast, lunch, and for snacks.  I keep the kitchen stocked with healthy choices and resist the urge to buy lots of processed crap, it makes it easy to make a healthy choice.

The problem is, I always buy way too much.  We eat plenty of what I buy, but there's always that last couple bananas, a handful of grapes, or the last standing peach that ripens just a little too much before we have a chance to eat it.

I've found a few solutions to my fruit over-buying (none of which involve buying less fruit, better to have too much than not enough!).  Sometimes I'll throw all of the leftover fruit into a bowl and make a fruit salad.  I also keep a baggie in the freezer for times when the kids will only eat half a banana or when they don't finish their pear.  I just throw the pieces in to mix into ice cream or smoothies.

Sometimes, like in this recipe, I will use the fresh fruit in a smoothie!  I had a peach that was on its way to being garbage, so I threw it in the blender with a few other simple, clean ingredients.  It was creamy, dreamy and perfectly delicious!
