Peachy Orange Slush
Pass Me an Orange
A full two-thirds of Americans start off their day with a glass of orange juice. They think that’s healthy behavior.

Interestingly I was only half right and I had the half wrong. I thought the orange juice was healthy. I would have been better off having a full glass of soda water.

Ingredients:
4 peaches (washed and cubed with skin left on)
4 oranges (juice squeezed out and reserved)
2-6 oz containers of plain Greek yogurt (full fat)
2 cups of water
½ tsp vanilla extract
dash of nutmeg
Instructions:
Put peaches in blender and blend well. Add orange juice, yogurt, water, vanilla, and nutmeg. Blend well. May put in freezer for a refreshing treat later. If you freeze it you’ll need to let it thaw a bit to get it to loosen up but it will give you a frosty experience.
Enjoy!
