Peach-Cherry Smoothie
If you drink this green smoothie first thing in the morning, you’ve just started your day with 2 fruit servings and 1 vegetable serving. Plus, cherries are high in fiber as well as a good source of Vitamins A & C, and spinach is a known nutritional powerhouse, complete with fiber, lycopene, and tons of vitamins. Any and all variations on this recipe are welcome. Try it with different types of fruit available in Northern New Mexico, like apples or plums.
