This was a hit with my whole family. I served it for breakfast with a toasted bagel and cream cheese. Just all around goodness--fresh fruit and no refined sugar. We're even sneaking a little bit of veggies in. The orange and nectarines give you sweetness without adding more sugar.

Add some flax seed if you want protein (this would change calorie count as well.)
A little bit of sugar free torani syrup goes a long way to create a great smoothie taste!
