About

When peaches are in season I go a bit crazy: peach pie, crisp, cobbler, cookies, cake...you name it. I do eat a number out of hand...and add to salads, but dessert seems to be the main option.  (does it help that i try to make the recipes as healthy as possible?) :)  Today i decided to keep the taste of my favorite peach desserts but stay 100% healthy. I made peach crisp smoothies!
The secret is to add oats used for oatmeal to a smoothie combination of fresh peaches, unsweetened coconut milk and spices.  You will be amazed at the transformation...It really tastes like you took a peach crisp, blended the ingredients and drank. Happily, aside from a tiny bit of honey, the sweetness comes from the peaches. Perfect for a guilt free dessert or a healthy breakfast or lunch.  Tip: I freeze fresh peaches to make my smoothie very cold.  You can skip this step if you wish. Enjoy!
