Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 banana, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup of almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 tablespoon of honey (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (optional)
- Ice cubes (about 1 cup, optional for a chilled smoothie)
Instructions
- Wash the peaches thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- Slice the peaches in half, remove the pit, and cut them into smaller pieces. You can leave the skin on for added nutrients or peel them for a smoother texture.
- Peel the banana and slice it into rounds.
- Gather all your ingredients on the counter for easy access.
- In a blender, add the sliced peaches and banana.
- Pour in the Greek yogurt for creaminess and protein.
- Add the almond milk, adjusting the amount for desired thickness.
- Drizzle in honey if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Add vanilla extract for flavor enhancement.
- Sprinkle in ground cinnamon if desired.
- Toss in ice cubes for a chilled smoothie.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and blend on low speed to break down the fruit, then increase to high speed until smooth (about 30 seconds to 1 minute).
- Check the consistency; add more almond milk if too thick or more yogurt/ice if too thin.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with more honey if needed.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Garnish with a slice of peach, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- For storage, keep any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but fresh is best.
- For meal prep, freeze sliced peaches and bananas for easy blending later.
- Feel free to customize your smoothie with add-ins like spinach, chia seeds, or protein powder for extra nutrition!
