Summer time means eating as much cold food as possible, and this year has been no different! As much as I love smoothies I don’t have them often throughout the other seasons. But, Summer? They’re basically what I’m living on. And Gazpacho is just a savory smoothie, right? So, instead of my everyday green smoothie I thought I’d switch it up with this pretty, layered, Strawberry Peach Smoothie!

There’s a fun thing about this smoothie, that you may not realize. I snuck a bunch of zucchini in it! So, not only do you get a different variety of vitamins, you get to use up some of the bounty from you (or your nice neighbor’s) garden. Right now, I have over 20 pounds of zucchini (two plants was maybe overkill), so I’m looking for all of the ways to use it! Below is a pic of just some of the pretty squash I have on hand.

To make this smoothie super creamy, I used Silk’s Unsweetened Cashew Milk and added raw, hulled hemp seeds for some protein. I don’t like adding sweetener or juice to my smoothies, because I find the fruit sweet enough. But, if you like a sweeter smoothie, add frozen bananas to each layer, or soaked dates!

And here’s a smoothie tip for you: If you don’t have time during the week to pick and choose ingredients for a smoothie. Take time one day a week to prep, and measure out ingredients for each and separate them into zip bags or jars. Then, each morning, place contents in a blender with water, non-dairy milk, or coconut water, and blend! Easy-peasy.

I guess you could say that tip would also work well for some blended mixed drinks, eh? 😉 Also, another tip! You can get coupons off of Silk products by signing up for their newsletter! Plus, they share a lot of awesome recipe ideas on their instagram, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Also, stay tuned for SO MANY zucchini recipes. So many. I hope that you’re as excited as I am! And as always, I’m open to your dish suggestions. Now, go, make this Strawberry Peach Smoothie and enjoy! <3

To forgo the layers, but not the flavors, blend all of the ingredients at once and enjoy! If you'd like the mixture sweeter, add a few frozen banana chunks while blending.
