Peachy Lychee Smoothie

Lychees can be found in Asian markets but are also starting to show up in mainstream grocery stores. Getting into a lychee is quite easy. Cut off the top end and then peel off the outer layer by pushing on the meat of the fruit. Then cut out the inner seed. Lychees can be enjoyed plain as a tropical snack, in salads, or in green smoothies.
