You can throw just about anything in a fruit smoothie to enhance its flavor such as honey, tofu, jams, any combination of fruits, peanut butter, juices, etc., but keep in mind it will effect the nutritional values.
1 nectarine 6 ounces light (reduced sugar) fat-free peach frozen yogurt (this is one container of yoplait) 1/2 cups dole pineapple,orange,guava juice (comes in a carton) 1/2 cups crystal light or other sugar-free lemonade 1 packet equal sweetener or. . . 2 teaspoons sugar if equal is not available
Put all ingredients into blender.
Blend until smoothie consistency is reached.
"Peach is rich in beta-carotene , which the body converts into Vitamin A", says Mary Ellen Camire, Ph.D., professor of Food Science at the Univerity os Maine at Orono."This nutrient fortifies membranes so they're more resistant to infection.
