What a perfectly peachy-keen way to begin the morning…..with a Gluten-Free Carrot Peach Smoothie. Just look at the color! This smoothie is just packed with nutrients. And it honestly tastes really delicious! Smoothies aren’t just for breakfast, they are a great snack throughout the day. Such a good pick-me-up treat. Super easy and quick to make. Would also be a great after-school snack for the kiddos or a refreshing cold dessert on a hot summer evening.

The coconut water is very hydrating and the turmeric is an anti-inflammatory. Carrots are an antioxidant and loaded with beta carotene which converts to Vitamin A in your body. Did you know peaches are also an antioxidant and loaded with Vitamin C?! This smoothie has so much going on.
I bought my Vitamix at the New York State Fair last summer. It was a great investment for my nutrition and it cuts down the time spent on food prep tremendously!
Here’s to your health,
