This Paleo Peach Smoothie celebrates the fresh, bright flavors of summer and gets plenty of nutrition in too. Peaches and nectarines have got to be some of the best stone fruits when they are in season. I can’t get enough of them!
The added nutrition in this smoothie comes from the surprise ingredient – spaghetti squash (or zucchini). The first time I made it, I held my breath waiting to see if it would actually work. They both worked beautifully and totally disappeared into the mix! It is nice to get something besides spinach and leafy greens in sometimes.
