After I got this smoothie all mixed up and divided it evenly between four jelly jars for the boys - they disappeared outside and to various parts of the house to drink their smoothies and work on homework. But to the last man, when they finished the smoothie they proclaimed this "the best smoothie ever" or "this smoothie is really good." They all four loved it. And that's rare.

Peach Berry Smash – a Smoothie Recipe
Well today was interesting. I peeled, sliced and pitted about 30 peaches two days ago and stuck them in the freezer for this purpose (the smoothie challenge peach recipe).

And it came out divine! Normally, on smoothie mornings I will make up smoothies for everyone, but since I am trying to get pictures for each Continue Reading >>
