Are you a smoothie fan? As weird as it probably sounds, I run in streaks …. sometimes, I have them every single day … and other times, I won’t have one for months. This Strawberry Peach Smoothie was the first one I’ve had in probably 2 or 3 months – I don’t know how I went almost all summer without one?!
My local grocery store had peaches on sale for .69/lb last week and strawberries were .99/lb. They also had grapes for .85/lb. and plums for .69/lb. Needless to say, I got a bunch of fruit! I have noticed the prices of produce here in Arizona is a lot nicer than when we lived in North Carolina …. the milk prices are better here, too! However, I think we pay more for meat and some of the general grocery stuff than we did on the East coast. I’m sure it all evens out in the end though, right? How are your produce prices faring this time of year?
Do you ever have those moments when you want something, but you’re not sure what you want? (It happens to me all the time!!) My 12 year old suggested making smoothies the other day and I thought it sounded great – and we had plenty of fruit to make them with, so why not?!
You can make this with fresh fruit or if you’re like me, you can freeze some of the fruit ahead of time. The choice is yours – either way is delicious!

This sounds wonderful – it's a combination I have not seen before. I'm adding it to my list of must try smoothie recipes. 🙂
I need to move to Arizona. Peaches $1.99/lb and strawberries $3.99 for a pint (those clear hinged plastic containers) in Iowa. Don't get me started on our meat or organic produce prices! It looks delicious Jamie, no matter how much it would cost to make here…LOL 🙂
I LOVE smoothie and it looks fantastic!!
Oh yum, my peach tree is just starting to blossom, I think this will go on the list as soon as it's fruited! Thanks for lining with me
Oooh I have both right now and this sounds great!!!
Those prices are amazing! I wish that I had peaches, because I have everything else! I know that my kids would LOVE to make these.
