Today is the first day of the 6 week Eat to Live trial and I opted for a fruit smoothie for breakfast. I picked up fresh Chilton County peaches at the produce stand yesterday and decided to pair them with frozen blueberries and fresh mint for a very refreshing start to the morning. I could easily have doubled this recipe and still eaten it all myself. And check out the nutritional info below – eating lots of fruits and vegetables is the easiest way to get fiber on a gluten free diet. Who needs All-Bran when you can have a smoothie instead!
Instructions
- 2 peaches, unpeeled
- 1 c. blueberries, frozen
- 5-6 mint leaves
- 1/2 c. soy milk*
Roughly chop the peaches and place them in the blender with all other ingredients. Pulse the blender a few times to get the blueberries going, and then let it run for 30 – 60 seconds. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy.
* This is an estimate – I forgot to measure =)

Yum! looks beautiful, and it’s good for you.
Did it stick with you to lunch time?
Janie,
It did stick with me till lunch, but I had it rather late in the morning for me (8:30). If I were having it on a weekday I think I would double the recipe or have part of my starchy vegetable/grain allotment with it.
