Peach Melba Smoothie Recipe

As many of my followers on Facebook know I tend to share recipes to “celebrate” silly food holidays. National Peach Melba day is on January 13th so I got to work creating some new twists to the classic ice cream treat. For those that don’t know Peach Melba is poached peaches served with a mound of vanilla ice-cream which is then drizzled with raspberry sauce. Sounds pretty good to me! Well I decided to marry flavors into a smoothie.

My Peach Melba Smoothie has the flavors of peach, vanilla and raspberries. Its a healthy alternative to the traditional peach melba and its still a cold treat will satisfy the cold sweet tooth. You can omit the sugar but one of my daughters insisted that it was put in there 🙂  Make sure you use frozen fruit so you can omit  ice cubes and the watered down flavor in your smoothie.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.  *Makes 4 (16 ounce) smoothies
