Peaches & Green Smoothie

Ah, my very first real recipe post. How exciting! I’ve been trying to drink green smoothies for breakfast more often. This morning I found some luscious beautiful peaches at the store and knew what I had to make – a peaches and green smoothie. I added banana to really play up its creaminess, plus a few dates to sweeten it up even more. I really wanted the juicy peach flavor to stand out so I opted for a milder green, a romaine heart. And that’s it. Super simple. Want to hear my trick for getting all the boys in my home to love green smoothies? Fancy glasses! Everything tastes better in a goblet, it’s a proven fact of science. Silly straws work great too, but we’ll save those for another day. I don’t think this smoothie needs any trickery, just ripe juicy peaches and love.
