peach-orange smoothie

  • 1 large or 2 small oranges - 2 points
  • 1 can peaches in water and sweetened with splenda - 2 points
  • 2 packets sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • juice of 1 key lime (or about a tsp lime or lemon juice)
  • peach flavored sugar free drink*

peel oranges, removing as much as the pith as possible. drain peaches, saving the liquid. mix peach liquid, sweetener, vanilla and lime juice. freeze orange sections and peaches and refrigerate liquid overnight. mix ingredients in blender, using peach drink as needed for desired consistency.

*i used peach flavored drink mix, that's basically a generic of crystal lite. i think this could be replaced with sugar free orange flavored drink, diet orange soda, or diet lemonlime soda, if desired.

this is one of my favorites. it turned out surprisingly good. i also add flax seed and wheat germ to my smoothies, and it didn't negatively effect the taste at all, like it can with some smoothies.
