Canned Peach Smoothie

This smoothie was made to test the taste of canned peaches in a smoothie.

Ingredients

• 1 banana
• 1 (15oz) can peaches
• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 2 cups almond milk
• 2 tbs honey
• ½ cup vanilla yogurt

Directions

Add all of the ingredients to the blender and blend well. Enjoy!

This made enough for me to have my full glass and 3 out of 4 kids to get a small glass as well. (The 4th didn't want to try it, but she is extremely picky, so that didn't surprise me.)

I know that part of the reason for drinking smoothies is to get fresh fruit into your diet. However, fresh fruit tends to be a bit out of our price range and frozen isn't much better. We decided to try canned to see how it would turn out. It's not too bad. It's not as thick as the ones I usually make, which isn't a bad thing.

Feel Good Smoothie

A little bit of this and a little bit of that.

Feel Good Smoothie

Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen peaches
• 1 ½ cup almond milk
• 1 cup vanilla yogurt

As you can see, this one makes quite a bit, but I think this one turned out just about right.

Veggie Smoothie

First time trying an all veggie smoothie.

I wasn't as pleased with this one. It was just too chunky for my taste. If anyone has ideas as to how to make it more palatable, please feel free to comment.

The kids even love this one.

This was a little thicker than I like. Maybe more milk and less peanut butter?
