Raspberry Peach Smoothies

YUM!  We love smoothies.  The girls think they're getting a treat and I know they're getting good nutrition.  Okay, let me rephrase.  We all love the deliciousness, but the only one I'm still fooling is Punky.  They're growing up! <sniff, sniff> ;)

Last week on our Costco trip, I picked up a flat of organic peaches.  They weren't quite ripe, so we placed them in a large paper sack for a day (just leave sack on the counter).  Fast forward, the next day they were fragrant, juicy, and ready to devour.  But, for some reason, by the very next day, they needed to be used ASAP!  Into a smoothie was the best way for us to use up this fruit.  I decided to pair it with some raspberries that were also aging in the fridge, and a banana, of course!  I think every smoothie has to have a banana for creaminess and flavor.

The girls loved these smoothies so much that I made them again the next day!
