I don’t make smoothies very often, maybe a few times per month, like this delicious Blueberry smoothie<\/a>, but this one was calling my name (click here<\/a> to see more smoothie recipes). This simple peach and date smoothie is so refreshing and delicious, it’s easy for beginners and a great way to introduce picky eaters to healthier foods. This can also make a nice treat for dessert (perfect for the kids’ lunches), or even a quick breakfast on-the-go (for breakfast, I would add a handful of organic baby spinach to add more nutrients).<\/p>\n

The dates add a little bit of wholesome sweetness (don’t put too many though!) and the hemp hearts add a creamy texture, as well as great nutrients such as essential omega 3s, fibre, proteins, and minerals. Yummy! I like my smoothies not too cold so I never use ice in them. The cold from the refrigerated milk and\/or frozen fruit is enough. When we eat or drink closer to room temperature, it’s easier on our digestive system.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

P.S.: Because peaches are on the Dirty Dozen list<\/a>, don’t forget to buy them organic to reduce your exposure to pesticides and other harmful chemicals. Wondering what is so special about organic?
