In the Reboot Kitchen: Peaches ‘N Cream Smoothie (& Popsicle!)
By Stacy Kennedy, MPH, RD, CSO, LDN; Reboot Nutritionist
I love blending up sweet treats with my kids that are packed full of fiber and nutrients plus free from processed sugars and artificial ingredients. Besides a refreshing smoothie, this peaches ‘n cream blend is perfect for popsicles. This sweet but light smoothie is refreshing and energizing. Peaches, like bananas, are a really good source of potassium. Diets that include plenty of potassium rich fruits and vegetables have been shown to help lower blood pressure and are perfect for replacing electrolytes lost through sweat and exercise on a hot summer day.
