Garden Recipe: Five Ingredient Peach Rhubarb Smoothie

Drink Recipe· Garden Recipe· Recipe

10 Jul

This five ingredient peach rhubarb smoothie is the perfect blend of sweet and sour and a great way to use that fresh rhubarb from the garden! [post contains affiliate links, which means we make a small commission, at NO additional cost to you, if a purchase is made. thanks for supporting north country nest!]

Smoothies are my jam. Especially when it’s five million degrees outside, the humidity is doing absolutely nothing good for my hair and we have no air conditioning.

Basically, they’re the perfect way to refresh, stay cool and sneak some extra fruits and veggies into the diet.

While today’s recipe doesn’t call for any vegetables, I did add spinach into another batch and it turned out pretty great. Which reminded me of why I love throwing spinach into my smoothies; all the nutrients and not so much taste. Win-win if you’re not a huge vegetable lover like me.

Speaking of vegetables, we started a garden this year and I am making it my personal mission to start cooking with things we’ve actually made from scratch. Which brings me to today’s recipe…

The rhubarb you see pictured is in fact home grown – it lives in one of the raised beds by the stairs and has been going absolutely crazy the past two months.

In fact, a few weeks ago I gathered a HUGE amount, with these grandiose plans to make all of the things that contained rhubarb.

And then…

Then I completely dropped the ball. As in, I didn’t make a single thing. And I can’t even believe I am admitting this to you right now but I ended up throwing it all away. THE HORROR, I KNOW.

So, in an effort to beat the short timestamp on fresh garden ingredients, I decided to whip something together the same day I cut them off the stalk. Thus, the five ingredient rhubarb peach smoothie was born.

I was a little nervous about how it would taste, given the fact that I’ve never had peaches and rhubarb together. Also that I don’t have the best track record for throwing ingredients together on a whim and making them taste remotely decent.

However, much to my surprise, it’s actually really, really good. A little sour (lemon juice, duh) but the honey counterbalances it a bit along with the sweetness from the peaches.

Best of all, it’s only five ingredients. I mean, who doesn’t love a good smoothie that’s easy and delicious and the perfect refresher for those hot summer days?!

oh, hi!

We’re Brett and Kelly! A husband and wife team tackling our first complete home renovation. We love all things DIY, our two furbabes and lazy summer days out on the lake. Our mission? To share the journey of turning a house into a home.

Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the w Last summer, Brett and I didn’t get out on the water at all – not once did we take the boat out.

Given the fact that we live in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, I felt like the worst Minnesotan. How could we not enjoy the water when there’s three within five miles of our house?

This year? We've been able to get out on some body of water at least once per week - how cool is that?!

What’s been really great about these last few months is that we’ve seemed to have found a nice “balance” between go-go-go and taking time to enjoy whatever it may be.

While this season of relaxed work is probably not the norm, it's been a pleasant surprise that we'll be enjoying for as long as we can!

Enjoy the week, friends!

Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in o Yesterday, #ontheblog we did a mid-year check in on our renovation list and shared two new projects we're adding (of course!)

The second addition? Giving a little refresh to this laundry room by pushing back the washer, dryer and cabinets.

We finished it wayyyy back in 2017 but there was a small frustration: the washer and dryer cover the window.

Every few months we'd circle back to the space and see how we could make it work. It was one of those little issues that might not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but here's the thing - you deserve to LOVE your home.

After four and a half years of constant projects, I often find myself wondering why in the hell we are doing this and I keep coming back to this idea that a home is meant to be loved, to share a story, to work for you, to be a space that you can relax in and enjoy.

So while the washer and dryer covering a window might be insignificant to a visitor, for us, it's something we see every day. And, after three years of brainstorming, we finally found a solution that felt good.

I guess that's the bonus of being four years into a reno - the idea of knocking down a wall seems like an easy project nowadays 😂😂

Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies.. Sometimes, it's not all rainbows and butterflies... especially when it comes to neighbors.

New post #ontheblog today all about the lawsuit we've been in with our neighbor for the last year. And it started all because of our garage.

In short: three years ago the county required us to get a survey done on our property in order to build the garage. The results showed that the easement our neighbor was using to access her property was not in the right place - it was inside our property lines instead of outside.

Fast forward to July 2, 2019 when we were served lawsuit paperwork from said neighbor, claiming the rights to the easement location - and it's been a long, stressful process since then.

But, we received the good news last week from our lawyer - everything is finalized and we can finally put this whole mess behind us!

Cheers to starting the week off on a high note!

In other news, Brett scored big time and found a giant rug for our living room - it was half off and arrived last week. Now we're patiently waiting until we get the new floors down until we roll it out. Check the stories if you want to get a sneak peak!😁😁 Enjoy the day, my friends!

Yup, I'm married to an adult child. 😂😂 Kidding aside - I had one of those 'I love summer' moments, watching them all run around outside, laughing their heads off.

Hope you're enjoying the start to your week, friends! 🙌
So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was So, here's the deal. The kitchen tile project was not all sunshine and roses.

Two words: dried grout.

On the plus side, you can in fact clean dried grout from tile. On the negative, it's a complete pain in the ass... And doesn't get you back too 100%. #ontheblog today, I'm diving into all the details on how we cleaned the tile... And the (now funny?) story on how it even happened in the first place (hint: renovating with your husband on an empty stomach never has a positive outcome) 😂
The last four years have been a constant experimen The last four years have been a constant experiment of finding the balance between function and design.

We started this entryway with white built-ins and light walls. Damn it looked good in pictures but real life? With two black dogs and a lake... Well let's just say the functionality of the design choices were at an all time low.

So, we overhauled the space and darkened the walls and built-ins. While I was a little nervous to go so dark, I have to admit Brett's instincts were right one this one.

So, here's to continuing to find that balance of function and design - and I'd love hear, have you compromised anything because it just didn't fit with how your family lives in your home?!?
