Peachy Mint Smoothie


There is nothing I love more, on a hot summer day, than a killer smoothie. Easy nutrient dense meal. Stay cool. Drink from a straw. Nothing better.

This smoothie is the result of needing to use up leftover mint after a batch of this Quinoa Tabbouleh. What would be icy fresh and just lightly sweet enough to compliment mint? Step in, frozen peaches.


From there, just a little Greek yogurt for creaminess, chia seeds, and spinach for good measure.

In my mind, a smoothie is forever the perfect opportunity to get a heavy hand of vegetables into my day.

And voila! Insta-breakfast!


Cool down, green up, and enjoy!
