Yippee!! It is Crazy Cooking Challenge time again!!! I don’t think I have had a chance to participate since my The Sexiest Chocolate Cake you have ever eaten post! If you have not heard about the Crazy Cooking Challenge you must check it out! Tina does a FANTASTIC job for all of us happy food bloggers!
I found my smoothie recipe at a really cool and healthy blog Skinny Taste. Please go check her out! I did have a bit of a snafu with my smoothie. As you see I used a nectarine and the Skinny Taste recipe calls for a Kiwi…… I promise I did not break the rules on purpose. I went to grocery store this morning and got all the ingredients I needed for all my posts for the week. I had a kiwi in my basket, I put the kiwi on the counter to be rung up, when I got home I had no kiwi!!! Arrrg! At least I also had some nice fresh nectarines so my smoothie was not just a plain strawberry smoothie. This smoothie is healthy has no added sugar and is very filling! I had it for lunch and it did the trick! I have stayed away from store bought smoothies as they are not as healthy as you would think, but if make them yourself and control the ingredients then smooth away my friends!!!

Mmmmmm, nectarines are one of my faves. So juicy and perfect, so why is it that I’ve NEVER thought to put them into a smoothie?! Yum!
Your smoothie looks wonderful, especially in your cute glass. I love that there’s no additional sugar, sounds delicious.
If you haven’t already, I’d love for you to check out my CCC entry: Mango Melon Banana & Chia Smoothie.

I LOVE nectarines. Sometimes when you improvise a recipe, it turns out even better!
I love that smoothies are healthy! Makes you not feel so guilty for enjoying them! #31
I can’t wait to try this – your pictures are AWESOME! I have vowed to make smoothies once a day all summer long, breakfast or a dinner substitute on hot summer days and I can’t wait to try ALL of the Crazy Cooking Challenge recipes from this month. Thanks so much for participating.
I love the addition of nectarine–don’t you love when accidents turn out well?
