Summer Baby Stone Fruit Smoothie

Summer baby? Caused your mama trouble from the start? This is the elixir for all that. When the Northeast summer finally delivers local fruit, it’s your chance to make a smoothie that isn’t built from a store‑bought tropical mix. Use whatever stone fruit looks best at the market. Add greens if you want. And if you have leftover fruit, roast it with a pinch of salt — it becomes a perfect topper for yogurt, ice cream or oatmeal.

A dreamy blend to start planning on your Manic Monday for the weekend.  Blender Note: The Vitamix VX1 Blender is an upgrade from a basic model — maybe on a Prime Day: https://amzn.to/3QTN0j6

Yogurt Base: Cocojune Organic Plain Unsweetened Protein Yogurt (10g protein, vegan, cup).

Ingredients

  • 1–2 small peaches, peeled if you prefer, chopped
  • 1–2 nectarines, chopped
  • 1–2 apricots, chopped
  • Splash of vanilla
  • Splash of coconut creamer
  • Collagen powder (optional)
  • Oatmeal (optional)
  • Touch of lemon
  • Sprinkle of salt
  • Honey early in the season; later, the fruit sweetens on its own
  • Cinnamon (optional)
  • Greens (optional)

Blend with coconut water or water and ice. Forget ancient traumas and enjoy with brunch.

Proper Stone Fruit Prep

Removing the stone is easy: slice around the pit, twist, and pop it out. Or keep it simple and chop. The chop method is quicker but you are losing product. Keep the peel on for fiber. The peach skins can be a little much.

Uh oh! So many leaks all over the place….

but not with these Mason Jars with lid and straw that are super fun. You can infuse different fruits and juices, add ice, syrups, and spices, have your iced coffee or tea.   No more leftover fruit hanging around the crisper, just chop and throw in, reusable straw, the straw attachment lid is easier to use than an original mason jar.

Are you ok? The K‑Shaped Economy

Image
If you’re trying to understand all the K‑shaped economy talk, here’s the simplest way to picture it: the standard K chart tracking time and performance is an inverted, backward K tilted roughly 90 degrees to the right.  Sometimes you’ll see an upright K instead:   One arm goes up (winners). One arm goes down (strugglers).  Hanging off the upper K arm like the “Hang In There Kitty” posters of yore? You are not alone. There are some interesting K charts out there. Which arm of the K are you on? In good economic times or bad, there are cookies. Tate’s Bake Shop, from near Greens Water’s hometown, are cookies with a dedicated following:   https://amzn.to/3yqz7tO Photo from Unsplash, the “crowd‑sourced library of high‑quality free‑to‑use stock photos.” Credit: markus‑spiske‑53AIdxedO9g‑unsplash.
