The best things in life are free and free fruit can't be beaten. I made a delicious smoothie from some 'free' fruit that we had - yellow peaches that we had growing in our garden plus some our neighbours gave to us, white flesh peaches that a friend gave us, plums from the next door neighbour and some figs a neighbour that I only met today while walking past his house and striking up a conversation about his fig tree. I peeled the peaches and chopped them roughly, chopped the plums and the figs and blended these all until smooth. (My mum would love this as she has extolled the virtues of her Nutribullet to me in a previous conversation!). I also added some lime juice that I had frozen from limes given to us by the same friend who gave us the white flesh peaches...I don't know if I would add limes again, the flavour didn't quite go with the other fruits. You could change the amounts of each fruit to your own taste, but I did 2 x white flesh peaches, 1 x yellow flesh (Million Dollar variety) peach, 1 x fig and 1 x plum.
It was absolutely delicious an soooooo refreshing. I could have used my juicer instead of the blender, but I really wanted the advantage of having the fibre in the drink rather than just the juice.
