Peach Smoothie with Yogurt

Sometimes ago I prepared this Peach and yogurt smoothie, but unable to post. Here I used purple peaches with natural yogurt. It was creamy and thick with the flavours of peaches. I used peaches directly with the skin due to the benefits of purple colour fruit skin. If you don’t like the skin, still you can remove it.

I didn’t use any sweetener. How about you? Do you use sweetener in your fruit drinks/smoothies? Sweeteners are always an optional item for any smoothie recipe, however I prefer smoothies without any sweetener.

Before the recipe, I guess it is helpful if I share some health benefits of peaches. Some benefits are,

• Peaches are rich with Vitamin A and C which help to keep the skin healthy.  Due to this, they are often used in cosmetics.  
• Peaches are a rich source of beta carotene which is helpful for eye health.
• Peaches have the ability of detoxing. The high amount of fiber and potassium in peaches reduces kidney related diseases and thus lessens the risk of ulcer.
• Peaches are a good weight control fruit because of the fact that one peach contains only 68 calories with no fat.
