Coconut Peach Smoothie, Paleo Style

I love to prepare food with fresh ingredients of the season. So today I wanted to make a delicious pick-me-up drink made with to-die-for fresh peaches. They are so juicy, sweet, and packed with enormous nutrients your body hungers for. If you go to your local farmers' market right now, they are in abundance everywhere. So do not pass up the opportunity to buy some and enjoy, either just washed and eaten whole or in various recipes, such as in this peach coconut smoothie.
Forget the store-bought smoothies or protein drinks that have been sitting on the shelf for months with expiration dates a year out! How is that fresh or good for you? Bring out your blender and quickly make a delicious, nutritious, and fragrant drink that will give you energy, provide vitamins and antioxidants, and leave you wondering why you cannot get any more from your straw. The other significant ingredient in this smoothie is the wonderful, tropical coconut.
Coconuts are highly nutritious and rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5, and B6, and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Unlike cow's milk, coconut milk is lactose-free, so it can be used as a milk substitute by those with lactose intolerance.  So next time you want a special treat, actually, you can make this every day, opt for a peach coconut smoothie, and pretend you are on a tropical island. Why not? You deserve it! Enjoy! PALEO PEACH COCONUT SMOOTHIE
