I looooooove smoothies. There is nothing better on a hot summer morning than a smoothie for breakfast, and I live in Florida so every morning from May-September is a hot summer morning!

My new favorite combination of smoothie is raspberry and nectarine. I never thought of blending up nectarine in a smoothie until one day it hit me that it is basically the same thing as a peach. Duh! I’m not the biggest fan of peaches: too smooshy or something. I do love nectarines though. They seem to have a bit of a bite.

Here’s the smoothie I’ve been making recently.

I used one banana, one nectarine, about 1/2 cup raspberries, 1 cup orange juice, and about 1 cup ice. I love the tangy-ness of this smoothie, the nectarines, raspberries, and oranges really work well together. Its such a nice change from the standard strawberry/banana combo.
