Peach and Raspberry Smoothie

This classic combination relies on the sweetness of a ripe peach to work well — but be sure the peach is not overripe, or it will have an unpleasant taste.

1 peach, pitted and quartered

1/2  cup raspberries

1/2  cup plain low-fat yogurt

1/2 cup milk

Put all the ingredients in a blender. Blend for 1 minute or until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
