Fresh Fruit Fun

i love smoothies.  There are so many ways to change it up.  Try this option with some fresh berries left whole for a surprise.

Fruity Fun

3 peaches, stoned and cut into quarters
3 plums, stoned and cut in half
3 ripe pears, cored and roughly chopped
1 handful blueberries

Tip:  It is really up to you whether or not you peel the fruit. If you’re using organic fruits then it’s a good idea to leave the peel on as it contains lots of vitamins and nutrients.  If you’re using non-organic fruits, then it may be best to peel them before using.

Blend the peaches, plums and pears until smooth.  Divide the berries between two glasses and pour the smoothie over the berries.  Yum!

Change it up by adding some non-fat, soy, or rice milk to the blender fruit.  Throw in a scoop of protein powder and you have a complete meal!
