Delicious Summer Smoothie

I've just tried this amazing smoothie, which uses several ingredients from this week's shares. You can always swap out the home-made Pistachio milk with your favorite dairy-alternative. 

Peach-Strawberry-Vanilla Green Smoothie Recipe with Pistachio Milk
3 medium peaches, pitted
13 medium strawberries
The vanilla from one vanilla bean
1 large carrot, chopped
3 cups dandelion greens, chopped
8 ounces homemade pistachio milk (click to view Tracy's recipe)

Start by adding the liquid to your blender, followed by the soft fruit. Add the greens to your blender last. Blend on high for 30 seconds or until the smoothie is creamy.

This smoothie is also a rich source of vitamins B1 through B6, vitamin K, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and potassium.

Serving Size: One. (This recipe makes a large, 32-ounce smoothie. It is a meal-replacement smoothie and not a snack. I recommend drinking half right away and the other half about 30 minutes later. If it is too much for you, store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.)
