Green Smoothie – White Peach, Orange and Romaine Lettuce Smoothie

I just came back from vacation and haven’t had a green smoothie in a week. The only alternative was store bought smoothies which just don’t compare to freshly made ones. So I came up with a basic smoothie recipe which relies on juicy whole oranges, a white peach (including skin) and fresh romaine lettuce leaves.

As with most green smoothies, I didn’t have to juice the oranges or peel the peach which saves time and keeps all of the nutrients. The color is a vibrant green but it sure doesn’t taste like what you’d expect. The flavor is refreshing and tastes more like a fruit smoothie.
