Peaches and Cream

This dish reminds me of my friend who is a real Georgia Peach, because she is so sweet and has that warm Southern hospitality. Peaches from Georgia are naturally sweet and are the best in the summer months. If you can’t find Georgia peaches, look for peaches from South Carolina. Canned peaches are an acceptable substitute as long as they are packed in their own juices.

1 peach per person
4 ounces fat-free cream cheese
4 ounces low fat vanilla yogurt
1 tsp honey
2 tsp lemon zest

Directions:

1. In a blender, mix cream cheese, vanilla yogurt, and honey until smooth and creamy.
2. Slice peach and place slices in bowl.
3. Spoon cream mixture over peach slices and enjoy.
