Ginger Peach Smoothie

Yum
Smoothies are my secret weapon for getting my son to love really healthy foods. He will always say yes to a smoothie. This one is simple, yet the ginger gives it a little something special.

Ginger Peach Smoothie
Ingredients:

2 fresh peaches, pitted
1 frozen banana
1 nickel size slice of fresh ginger, peeled
2 tsp agave nectar
1/2 cup soy milk
3 or 4 ice cubes

Directions:

Pile it all in your blender and blend until smooth. I added a little sprinkle of cinnamon to the top for the added visual interest.

For 2 servings. Nutritional information from caloriecount.about.com
