If you're looking for the perfect summer smoothie recipe to beat the heat, this strawberry and peach smoothie is the one. With just a touch of honey and no added processed sugar, this fruit smoothie is one you can feel great about.
So, I've had a little bit of a smoothie problem lately. Every breakfast lately has been a smoothie, and with no end in sight (send help.) 😉 But in all seriousness, I actually can't think of a more refreshing way to start the day... Fresh, icy, blended REAL fruit with no processed sugar or weird ingredients sounds pretty awesome to me.
This particular fruit smoothie was inspired by my peach smoothie-but I just had to get some strawberries in there too, for good measure. If you'd looking for other great smoothie recipes, definitely try this easy green smoothie, this delightful blue smoothie or this refreshing mixed berry smoothie; all three are in constant rotation here! And if you're more of a smoothie bowl kind of person, definitely try this 5-minute fruit smoothie bowl.

Pro tip: If you are using fresh fruit, freezing it first works best but if you don't have time to, simply add some extra ice to make your smoothie cold and icy.
I love soy milk in this recipe, but feel free to swap out with another favorite milk or some plain regular or Greek yogurt (add a little extra water to thin the yogurt, if needed.)
