Oh Sweet Peach! Smoothie Recipes

It's peach season! It's the greatest season of fruit only second to orange blossom season (so smelly-good!). Around here we are definitely whipping up tons of desserts and smoothies using these fresh, fuzzy fruits.  Last week, I created a peach compote with coconut sugar and rum, with a little cinnamon and allspice.  We ate it on cake and hot cereal and it was glorious.

I wanted to share with you two smoothie recipes that we've been crazy about these past few weeks.  The first just tastes really good and the second is designed to provide complete proteins  (I drink it after my workouts).
