30Day Raw Vegan Fruit Project Day 10

http://www.vibrantvegan.com/raw-vegan-fruit-project.html

Today's featured fruit is the Peach!

-One medium peach has just 40 calories and is an excellent source of Vitamins A and C. Peaches are a low calorie, high nutrient food that would make an excellent "staple" in your summertime diet (or whenever you can get your hands on some yummy peaches).

-Peaches have diuretic and laxative properties--peaches help you go potty!

-Peaches can help stimulate your digestive juices, and they also help add color to your complexion. Sheesh! Eat some peaches--you'll look and feel so much better!

-If you're needing to purge some intestinal worms, peach leaf tea is the thing for you! Brew a batch, and say good-bye to those worms!

-Peaches were first cultivated in China, and have been around for thousands of years.

-Today, 36 of the 50 States actually grow peaches, which is unusual for a fruit (it's usually just a handful of States growing a particular fruit, in addition to other countries in the world), and 300 peach varieties are grown in the US.

-There are 2 types of peaches--clingstone and freestone. The "clingstone" peaches are eaten mostly canned (because the flesh of the peach "clings" more tightly to the pit. The "freestone" peaches are mostly eaten fresh and raw, because the flesh separates more easily from the pit.

Now it's time for your LOW FAT, RAW VEGAN RECIPE featuring the PEACH!

PEACHES AND CREAM

This Low fat, Raw, and Vegan delight will make you smile--maybe even giggle! It's light, refreshing, and fun to eat! Peaches and Cream contains 320 calories.

Ingredients

3 medium peaches, chopped into bite-sized chunks

1 tablespoon water
1/8-1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Put those lovely peach chunks into a bowl. Blend the bananas, water and vanilla, then drizzle over the peaches. It's done! Your bowl of complete and total loveliness is done! Enjoy! (For a richer, sweeter treat, add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon agave nectar and a pinch of sea salt.)

Eat some peaches! They'll help you look and feel prettier and poop more!
