Uplifting Peach Smoothie

It’s that time of the year when fresh peaches are beyond delicious in Ontario, where I live. One of my favourite things in the summer is to go to a nearby farm and pick fresh fruits with my own two hands. It is so much fun, and it keeps me connected to my food source. Did you know that peaches originate from China, where they are considered an uplifting and rejuvenating fruit? They are fantastic for weight management, skin health, and may even contribute to healthy digestion. Take a few minutes to make this Peach Smoothie, or eat some peaches on their own, and enjoy all the benefits of this beautiful fruit.
