Nectarine Raspberry Smoothie 2

Nectarines have always been a summer fruit to me. Not sure why…maybe because they first show up during summer and have zero business mixing with pumpkin. Yet here they are… still at the grocer weeks into fall. I respect this last final push, not ready to hand it over to the squash family. So why not throw it into a smoothie? I gave it a good old try and went with the mix of sweet and tart in this Nectarine Raspberry Smoothie.
