Strawberry, cherry, and nectarine yogurt smoothie

Strawberry cherry nectarine yogurt smoothie

We went overboard at the farmer's market, and so have been drowning in fruit. Strawberries, cherries, nectarines, white peaches, apricots: the works. So what better way to eat all kinds of fruit at once than in a smoothie? No frozen bananas or coconut milk necessary--these smoothies only contain fruit and yogurt. They're so good.

This time I went for all the red fruit: strawberry, cherry, and nectarine. The nectarine is sort of red, right?

Mint would have been a great addition here, but I didn't think of it at the time. We do still have lots of mint growing in the side yard, though, so at some point it'll probably make a smoothie appearance. Maybe with pineapple? A mint pineapple yogurt smoothie sounds pretty delightful. Now, if only pineapple were hanging around at the farmer's market...

Makes 1 small smoothie, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Strawberry, cherry, and nectarine yogurt smoothie

2 handfuls strawberries
1 handful cherries
1 nectarine
3-4 large spoonfuls of plain yogurt/soy yogurt--maybe 2/3 cup

Trim the strawberries; stem and pit the cherries; slice the nectarine off its pit.

Put all your fruit and yogurt in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Pour into glass of your choice. Drink, with spoon assists as necessary.

How have you been eating all the amazing new summer fruit?

I love a good smoothie and all those summer fruits sound like an amazing combination. I love nectarines and peaches and they are finally making an appearance at the farmer's markets in the UK. :)

Sooo beautiful! I can't wait to get to the farmers market this weekend and see what we have now. Cold & rainy weeks haven't been so nice to our produce this spring. Mmm nectarines.

I am so thirsty after I spent last two hours baking...and now I see this. I am going to make it right now! I just bought nectarines today and I have the rest in the fridge. Looks so delicious... perfect timing! And yes I'm drinking this at 11:30pm. Haha!

I love going the smoothie route when I've overdone it a bit on the fruit purchasing also! sounds so refreshing.
