smoothie for a wednesday...

Here is a fast and furious recipe for a Wednesday. This is from the August 2011 issue of Everyday Food. It is light and naturally sweet. The almond milk is a great addition and only half the calories of skim milk. It's a great start to my summer morning. The little flecks you see in the photo are the nectarine skins blended. Remember - Fiber is your friend!

So head to the kitchen now and make one. You can thank me later!!

Celebrate the Feast!

Nectarine - Yogurt Smoothie

 Aug 2011 Everyday Food Magazine

In a blender combine:

 2 medium nectarines, pitted and quartered

(or you can use 8 oz frozen peaches)

1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk

1 tablespoon honey 

( I omitted this because the fruit was sweet enough for me)

1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup ice

(if using fresh nectarines)

Blend until smooth. 

Serves 2
