Three-Ingredient Blueberry Peach Smoothie

You can't go wrong with just three ingredients in a recipe! This blueberry-peach smoothie is just as refreshing as it is beautiful!

It's no secret that I love smoothies, but with all of the smoothie recipes I create, surprisingly there aren't very many that include blueberries (so far). I love blueberries, but I think I hold back on adding them to smoothies because depending on what else is going in the blender, blueberries can make a smoothie come out with a really "interesting" color. For example, if you add them to green smoothies, you can easily end up with a grey-ish smoothie instead of one that's either bright green or purple, like you'd expect it to be. But I'm trying to get out of my blueberry-less smoothie rut, and start using them more often! :)

This blueberry-peach smoothie is SO refreshing! When I first made this recipe, I ended up making it everyday for the rest of that week (when I ran out of frozen fruit). I just couldn't get enough of it! One quick note: if you have fresh sweet peaches on hand, that will make this smoothie so sweet and delicious, but frozen work really well too - just know that sometimes frozen peaches aren't very sweet, so you may need to add a teaspoon of honey if your peaches are a little on the tart side. This recipe includes plain Greek yogurt which helps make it creamier, and also adds a boost of protein so this can be a quick breakfast option for the morning rush. Enjoy!
