Nectarine Blush

Hmm, well, this just did not go over well with me. About the only reason I could give is that it was "too much." I did peel and freeze the nectarines first, because I already knew it would be almost warm if I didn't. So if you happen to like this, I definitely would suggest the freezing, and even half-freezing the buttermilk.

I do like buttermilk in a smoothie, but it was too dominant here, and though I used sweet ripe nectarines, their flavor did not come through as I was expecting. Because the recipe doesn't use frozen fruit or ice, it was warm, which was not appealing. I added a frozen banana after the fact which helped make it slightly icy and more refreshing. Ice cubes would dilute the flavor even more. I might make this again if I have buttermilk to use up, but I would chop up the nectarines ahead of time and toss them in the freezer overnight, cut the buttermilk in half and make up the difference with orange juice.

We loved this! I used fresh peaches that I peeled first. Super simple to make with few ingredients and great results~a keeper for sure! Thanks for sharing. :)
