Healthy Recipes || My Peach Smoothie

Over the past couple of months, I have upped my homemade smoothie intake from every other morning to every morning.  There is just something that feels so good and refreshing about drinking a healthy, fruit/veggie smoothie first thing in the AM.  It has been a while since I posted a recipe, so here I go:

Ingredients:
1 organic peach
1 banana
4-5 frozen organic strawberries
1/2 tsp honey (add a bit more depending on your desired sweetness)
1-1 1/2 cup organic soy milk (depending on your desired consistency)
2 tbsp natural peanut butter

Instructions: 
Toss all the ingredients into a blender, and blend thoroughly.  Pour out into a cup and enjoy!

WANT MORE VITAMIN A?
A cup of apricots can offer you a vitamin A content of 60% the daily value, while a cup of peaches only offers 10%. So, switch out the peaches for apricots.  (I exchange every one peach for two apricots.)  Apricots also contain more vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber.

Smoothie || Easy Banana Pear Smoothie

It is time for another smoothie recipe, and this one is super easy.

Ingredients:
1 medium banana
1 small pear
1.5 cups of water (or more/less for your desired consistency)

Instructions:
Blend all the ingredients together in a blender and enjoy!

Factoids:
Banana is a good source of potassium, vitamin B-6, and vitamin C.
Pear is a good source of dietary fiber.

Smoothie || Beets, Banana, and Sweet Potato

Sometimes, when I make my smoothies, it is an effort to finish some leftovers or me just working with what I have.  Thus, this morning was born this "medley" smoothie.  The ingredients were eye-balled, so this breakdown is just an estimate.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup beets (previously roasted)
1 large banana
1/2 cup sweet potato (previously boiled)
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1 1/2 cup water

Instructions:
Blend all together and voila!
