Strawberry-Peach Cooler from Healthy Diabetic Recipes

Strawberry-Peach Cooler Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 cup dry-pack unsweetened frozen strawberries
2/3 cup dry-pack unsweetened frozen peaches
3/4 cup orange juice

Recipe Instructions:

In a 2-cup measure or similar microwave-safe bowl, combine the strawberries and peaches. Cover with wax paper, and microwave on high power 45 seconds to 1 minute to thaw the fruit slightly. The fruit should be icy but not hard. Working with a small knife in the measuring cup, cut each peach slice in half.

Transfer the peaches and strawberries to a blender container. Add the orange juice. Blend on low power to combine. Then increase power to high and continue to blend until the peaches are completely pureed, at least 1 1/2 minutes.

This recipe yields 2 servings. Serving size: 1 cup.

Exchanges Per Serving: 2 Fruit.

Comments: This easy, refreshing fruit shake has become one of the cookbook author's summer favorites. She loves the natural tartness of the fruit combination, but if you'd prefer a sweeter drink, add a small amount of artificial sweetener to taste. The partially frozen fruit gives the shake its icy texture.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
