Notes&Tips:

• With the abundance of peaches on the market, I tend to go peach-crazy. Making a smoothie is a great way to use up some of that fresh fruit in a hurry.

• Our garden has an abundance of mint: spearmint and chocolate mint. Besides making the obvious tea, I use mint in certain desserts and other beverages.

• Peach-Mint Smoothie with Coconut Milk is a refreshing beverage to have during these hot summer days. In addition, it's quick, easy and delicious. And you can use a smoothie as a meal substitute - breakfast or lunch.
