After some stretching and abs, I headed home with one thing on my mind. Fresh peaches. I picked up about five Palisades peaches (they’re the best!) from the natural grocery store a few days ago and they’re ripe and ready for consumption. I got a creative and came up with a delicious spin on a popular drink from India, the Mango Lassi. It tasted like peach pie!
Peach Lassi
(serves 1)
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 fresh peach
6 oz. fat free plain greek yogurt
1/4 tsp. almond extract
dash cinnamon
sweetener to taste
Blend all ingredients on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until well combined. Pour into a glass and place in freezer for 5-10 minutes. Serve cold.
I’m off to the lab and to class. Tonight’s is Advanced Nutrition and I really like it so far….we’ve only met once 
Have a great day!
*TIP TIME*
Smoothies are a quick and easy way to get a serving or two of fruit and some quality protein. Making your own smoothie can save 300-400 calories! Simply pick a milk or 100% fruit juice, add unsweetened fruit, and some plain low-fat yogurt (or greek yogurt). Blend up, add a bit of sweetener to taste, and serve. Smoothies are great in to-go mugs too.
Question: What’s your favorite smoothie?
