This frosty peach pineapple smoothie is a cool and refreshing breakfast or snack!
Am I the only one losing track of days this summer? We’ve been busy busy busy doing fun summer things and I swear yesterday felt like Saturday, and today I wake up and it’s Wednesday, and I’m confused and frazzled.
Not so frazzled that I can’t share this frosty peach pineapple smoothie recipe with you, but frazzled enough that it took me forever to decide on breakfast once I realized we were out of pineapple and I couldn’t make this again today.
We spent yesterday at the Toledo Zoo, and I was so happy we made the drive down to see it! It was well worth the trip. They have a huge aquarium that has recently been renovated, and it was amazing. Tons of beautiful fish, awesome jellyfish, seahorses, crabs, and other sea creatures, and even a station where you could “pet” a sea urchin and a horseshoe crab. The boys had a great time. And we saw so many other animals as well – it was a perfect outing for the first week of summer.
Anyway, back to the recipe. This peach pineapple smoothie is my favorite smoothie right now. The peach and pineapple combination with a little bit of coconut milk is so light and refreshing, plus it’s so easy to make on busy summer days.
As peaches are not in season yet here in Michigan, I have been using frozen peach slices. One little drawback of the frozen peaches is that they tend to be on the tart side. Boo. To combat that, I have been adding a little bit of maple syrup. You can adjust the sweetener based on how ripe your fruit is – I would expect that if you have really ripe fresh peaches, you won’t need any sweetener.
If you do start with fresh fruit, I would still freeze it first to keep this smoothie extra frosty and refreshing!
