 "I recently created this simple, but truly tempting recipe to go in my upcoming lavender mini-cookbook, Let’s Cook with Lavender. If you like smoothies, I urge you to try it for breakfast, lunch or as a satisfying snack. The fruit and berry flavor blend is particularly irresistible if you have the pomegranate juice on hand to use. To keep preparations fuss-free, I always have a bag of frozen peach slices handy in the freezer and a bottle of lavender syrup in the refrigerator.
The syrup shown in the photo and used in the recipe is my Gourmet Lavender Fruit Syrup made with blackberries, but a plain lavender syrup will do just fine." - Nancy
