RECIPE: Peach Protein Boost Smoothie (from Smoothie Project by Catherine McCord)

Many years ago, I started buying peaches at our farmers’ market from the peach ladies, as I affectionately call the gals from Tenerelli Orchards. To this day I don’t think I’ve ever tasted anything as mouthwatering as the peaches that grow on their trees. The peach ladies also let me buy their “seconds” (meaning their bruised stock), which I slice up and freeze so that we can continue to enjoy them in our smoothies for months after peach season ends.

I let the peaches speak for themselves in this smoothie, added a date for a sweet caramel note, and incorporated flax, chia, and protein powder to make sure you stay nice and full. Whether you’re able to get fresh peaches from your farmers’ market or frozen from the grocery, it’s all good. This is a smoothie that invites you to enjoy summer produce all year long.
