Hi friends!

This Peach Zucchini Smoothie Bowl is a favorite around here with my boys. I have a rotation of veggies that I go through to add to smoothies, including spinach (check out our go-to smoothie), cauliflower (you can try it in this Blueberry Cauliflower Smoothie ) and today we’re moving on to zucchini as our veggie of choice, which is perfect because your gardens and/or the farmer’s markets are probably overflowing with them right about now.

The end of summer is the perfect time to stock your freezer with zucchini so you can enjoy it in your smoothie year-round! I like to steam mine first because it’s easier to digest for some people (including me) but you can freeze it raw if you want. To steam, I just dice it up, put it in a glass bowl with a little water, cover with a paper towel and microwave 2-3 minutes. Cool completely and then freeze on a baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag once frozen. I made this a bowl because I have a personal preference for extra thick smoothies but with a little extra liquid, you can easily make this a drinkable smoothie.

Here’s what you need for this smoothie:

• Zucchini – raw or steamed, but freeze it first either way before using in smoothies.
• Peaches – you can really use any fruit you want if you don’t have peaches on hand.
• Yogurt- vanilla will add a little extra sweetness or you can use plain.
• Dates- optional but i usually throw in a couple for added sweetness and fiber.
• Water – I typically use water for my liquid but you could do a mix of any: water, juice or milk

Peach Zucchini Smoothie Bowl

My kids have been gobbling this smoothie up this summer because I sliced and froze a ton of peaches after we got a big delivery from the peach truck. However, once we work our way through our stash, i’ll probably make this same smoothie with frozen wild blueberries. If you or your kiddos aren’t into drinking green stuff, blueberries are perfect for hiding the green color!

Here’s how you make it:
