This is a great recipe for a gluten free, sugar free or low calorie diet. We use a Blendtec blender (similar to a VitaMix Blender). You could also try using a food processor. Makes a very light ice cream - more like ice milk vs. a heavy ice cream - but a refreshing summer treat nonetheless!

Last summer I spent an inordinate amount of time and money in Jamba Juice. A retailer that creates blended drinks from fresh and frozen fruit and juices, Jamba Juice's smoothies are simply delicious. But at about $3.50 for a 16-oz size, they're a tad pricey for a more than once a week fix. At least for someone on a tight budget.


So I decided to look up the ingredients of my favorite all-fruit smoothie, Peach Perfection, and make one for myself. I found their ingredients to be startlingly simple and their smoothies incredibly easy to make!


Here's my favorite recipe, one that I revise each season for what fruit's in season and what frozen fruit I have stocked in the freezer.

Submitted by TERRIFICLYFIT

This is a great summer recipe, for when fresh, sweet peaches are in season and available at your local farmer's market or grocery store! It's like a peach cheesecake tart, for less than 200 calories!

This can also be easily doubled, tripled, etc. to make multiples.

Add a scoop of vanilla flavored protein powder instead of the vanilla extract (and maybe a small splash of skim milk if it's too thick) to make a great breakfast tart instead!
