Keeping the freezer stocked with frozen fruit and vegetables means making a smoothie is never far out of reach.

Ingredients

2 cups frozen unsweetened peach slices

2 cups tightly packed fresh spinach

1 cup frozen unsweetened blueberries

1 cup fat-free milk

1 teaspoon honey

Directions

In a food processor or blender, process all the ingredients until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the mixture if necessary.
Pour into glasses.

Quick Tips

Cooking Tip: You can substitute 1/2 cup frozen spinach for the fresh spinach. Just add a few more splashes of milk if necessary.

Tip: Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice in a smoothie. You can easily use fresh fruit, however, by using the same quantities of fruit and adding 1 1/2 cups of ice cubes.
