My lawn is covered in leaves, smothering the evil weed called grass. But in the produce department I work at we are still receiving plums, peaches and other late summer fare from California and Oregon alike. This is perhaps my favorite time of year because for just a few weeks you have the luxurious opportunity to blend fall and summer flavors at their peak of freshness.
Perhaps my favorite of these combinations? Sweet summer peach and tart, juicy fall cranberries.
This smoothie is a great, elegant way to elevate any entertaining or enjoy it as a healthy energy boost with breakfast (there's not enough protein or fat in this to be consumed as a meal in and of itself unfortunately).
Stick it in popsicle molds, if you've got kids and theres your daily dose of hidden spinach, unprocessed so it retains all nutritional value.
You Will Need:
3/4 cup 100% cranberry juice, raw (use water and 1/4 cup fresh cranberries if you prefer)
1 cup spinach
1 banana, peeled
1 medium to large peach, sliced and pitted, skin on
1/4 cup whole raw pecans
1 tsp raw honey
6 icecubes
Put all ingredients in a blender on high. Blend until it reaches your preferred consistency.
Enjoy :)
