Peaches are in season and I love this juicy fruit! Look for peaches that are plump, medium sized, and have unwrinkled skin. A green hue indicates that they were picked too soon. A ripe peach will smell sweet at the stem end and will yield slightly when squeezed along the seem. I love this refreshing peach and kale concoction:
- 2 ripe peaches
- 1/4 cup cucumber (about 2 inches of cucumber)
- 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 cups kale leaves
- 1/3 cup crushed ice
- 1/4 cup water
Blend very well (I hope you are using a Vita-Mix!)
