Do I have to peel nectarines?

Name: Nectarine Smoothie
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 2 diced and frozen nectarines; ½-1 frozen banana; 1-2 cups coconut water; ¼ tsp vanilla extract; Pinch of ground cinnamon; 1-2 scoops protein powder (optional, I use unflavored or vanilla flavor); 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)

I never do, but I always try to buy them organic or at a local farmer's market. If your blender is strong enough, it should completely pulverize the peel. I actually like the little dark red specks in the smoothie! It adds color, and there are nutrients in the peel as well.
