🍑 Peach Smoothie 🥤
Ingredients
For the Smoothie:
2 large ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced (or 2 cups frozen peaches)
½ cup thick Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla-flavored)
½ cup oat milk (or your preferred milk)
1 tablespoon pure honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
½ teaspoon almond extract (for a subtle nutty flavor)
½ cup ice cubes (skip if using frozen peaches)
Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (for added fiber and nutrition)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
If using fresh peaches, peel and slice them before adding them to the blender.
If using frozen peaches, no need for ice cubes as they will create a naturally thick and frosty texture.
Blend the Smoothie:
In a high-speed blender, add peaches, Greek yogurt, oat milk, honey or maple syrup (if using), almond extract, and ice cubes.
If adding chia or flaxseeds, toss them in now for an extra nutrition boost.
Achieve the Perfect Texture:
Blend on low speed for a few seconds, then gradually increase to high speed until the mixture is silky smooth and creamy.
Pause and scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Adjust the Flavor:
Taste the smoothie and, if desired, add more sweetener to enhance the natural peach flavor. Blend briefly again.
Serve & Enjoy:
Pour into chilled glasses, garnish with a peach slice or a sprinkle of cinnamon, and enjoy immediately!
Helpful Tips
✔️ For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla or plain protein powder.
✔️ For a tropical twist, replace oat milk with coconut milk for a richer, creamier taste.
