Nectarine Sunshine Smoothie

The contributor Sarah-May said it all: It's tart yet sweet and a perfect way to start the day or to have a quick on-the-go lunch. Loved it, and I didn't even need the honey!

After reading the reviews and seeing that a few people were having issues with the orange pith, I decided to leave out the orange. Instead I increased the amount of orange juice to one and a half cups. I added the honey but wouldn't have needed to and next time I will leave it out as well.

Perfect sweet/tart combination. I did not add the banana because my kids don't like the flavor, but instead added a cup of frozen strawberries. I added 1 nectarine and some leftover peaches. Unfortunately I didn't really measure anything, so it will be difficult to duplicate again, but it sure was good this time!

Very nice flavor. I have never tried a whole orange in a smoothie before. It's a perfect match with nectarine. My nectarines were very sweet, so I cut back on the banana which happened to also be very ripe/sweet, and omitted the honey. It was still quite sweet, so make adjustments according to the ripeness of your fruit. Unfortunately, my kids didn't like the 'bits' from the skin of the nectarine and the pith of the orange. Aargh! But that's kids for you. Thanks, Sarah-May, for sharing your recipe.

This was very tasty and refreshing! I used plain nonfat yogurt, so I added a little vanilla, and I also had a few strawberries I needed to use up so I tossed those in, but it really wasn't enough to change the flavor all that much. I love the orange flavor - it really wakes you up! Nice smoothie, Sarah-May! We enjoyed it!
