Peaches
What’s neat about these fuzzy dudes is that they belong to the family of Rosaceae, which also include fruits like cherries, nectarines and plums. Peaches are a product of a deciduous tree and grows in temperate regions across the world but are native to China and South Asia. I know. You might not automatically associate peaches with that part of the world! But it’s true, it’s in their heritage.

Fresh work great in this recipe, but frozen peaches can also work.
The health benefits of peach fruit are many, but here are a few especially worth pointing out:
Peaches help in maintaining healthy skin, bones, and teeth care. Their anti-aging properties also help in detoxification, as well as improving digestion and cellular health. They have loads of essential nutrients and antioxidants which are valuable during pregnancy and help in strengthening our immune system.
Because peaches are so juicy and a great versatile summer fruit, they will keep us hydrated, regular (if you know what I mean ;) ), and beautiful, from the inside out!
Prepare ingredients.
All all ingredients into blender.
Blend all ingredients until smooth!
Top with mint leaf and peach slice. Enjoy!
