I was looking for an interesting smoothie recipe to use the plethora of peaches from our backyard tree. We used 1% milk and 4% cottage cheese, but no nutmeg (fresh out). I'm not a culinary wizard, nor do I drink smoothies more than once or twice a year, but I can fill a blender and push a button. Finished product impressed my 5- and 10-year-olds, and I thought it was a little like what a Marie Callender's Sour Cream Peach pie would taste like, if they offered such an item (I like their Sour Cream Blueberry). Usually the Jamba Juice treats we periodically sample are too cloyingly sweet for my taste, so this was a welcome alternative, and perhaps a bit healthier.
