Recipe #4 Creamy Peach Smoothie

I got some awesome peaches last night- a whole box of ripe ones.  They needed to be eaten or processed right away, but I was craving something smooth and cool.  So I threw the following together:
1 cup ice
3 peaches
3/4 cup low fat plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 Tbs honey

I blended all and we enjoyed a delicious peach drink.  This time of year is my favorite.  I have eaten home grown tomatoes at every meal.  Tomatoes with eggs, tomatoes in mac n cheese, sliced tomatoes on grilled cheese and salads, salads, salads.  I have been lucky enough to get blackberries, peaches and raspberries made into jams, syrups and cobbler.  My tip to go along with this recipe?  Take advantage of whatever is in season and just gorge yourself.  It's so good and good for you too.
