Peach-Berry Bliss Smoothie

It’s nearly 11:30 a.m., and the summer heat is already nearing 100°F. BK and I are finally home from our morning of training, BK on the football field and I at the fitness center .   
As we drove home, our stomachs growled fiercely, craving something cool and refreshing. We dreamed up a smoothie concoction sweetened with a sweet-tart flavor of peaches and strawberries. Now to hurry down the country road to find refuge in our air-conditioned home.   
As soon as we pulled into the driveway I bolted for the kitchen to put my brain to work, in an effort to make a smoothie so good it boasts an explosion of thirst-quenching flavors.
This is what I came up with, hope you enjoy it!
Be safe and stay cool in this summer heat! Xoxo
Love to all,
