Welcome. Today I am making Elizabeth’s blend that she sent in. Look at this creamy, peachy creation.

Elizabeth wrote and said, “Hi Jane, I made a new smoothie today that I just fell in love with and thought I’d share it with you. I call it my Apple A Day Peach Smoothie.”

Ripe Fruit

2 cups of almond milk; and if you don’t know how to make your own almond milk, I’ll show you how – it’s simple and easy and once you make your own homemade almond milk, you’ll be hard pressed to buy anything that’s been processed.

2 handfuls of grapes; she added frozen grapes, you can add fresh or frozen. I had fresh today so I added those. 2 fresh peaches, remove the pits and make sure your peaches are ripe. You want them to smell like a peach, you want them to taste like a peach. Don’t get hard, out of season peaches. Make this when you can get some good fruit. That’s the key to a good smoothie, ripe fruit.

Chia

One apple, quartered, and Elizabeth left the seeds in. You don’t have to, but you can. A cup of ice and she says, “I added some chia seeds just because.” When using chia seeds, make sure you soak them first and you’ll end up with a chia gel. Chia seeds will draw water out of you and you don’t want that to happen or you’ll end up dehydrated or thirsty, so always soak your chia seeds. 9 parts water, one part chia.

Let Me Know

And then Elizabeth says, “Let me know if you like it.” With ingredients like that I don’t see how I can’t like it, but let’s give it a try. Peachy, peachy… I can taste the peach, the ripe peach is the key. Actually, I think I can taste the apple, too. It’s creamy from the almond milk. And it’s sweet, but not too sweet.

This is fabulous, Elizabeth, thank you.
