I’m enjoying a full-on love affair with peaches this summer. Admittedly, I do tend to cheat a bit and buy them ripe rather than ripen them at home… I don’t seem have the patience to wait for them to ripen once I buy them!
While biting into a fresh juicy peach is a deliciously simple treat, they also work very well in a range of sweet treats and smoothies.
In this Peaches ‘n’ Cream Summer Shake, I used coconut water, cashews, frozen banana, peaches, coconut and vanilla to make a deliciously sweet and creamy smoothie. It tastes like a dessert, yet it’s energy-boosting and insanely good for you. Hello, healthy fat, fibre, vitamins, minerals and protein!
