Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 1 cup almond milk (can substitute with any preferred plant-based milk)
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (for a dairy-free version, use coconut yogurt)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, can be replaced with agave syrup)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Ice cubes (optional, for a colder drink)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, chia seeds, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Check the consistency; if you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until smooth.
3. Pour the smoothie into tall glasses, garnishing with a peach slice or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra touch of flair.
4. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of sweet peaches and the subtle nutty flavor of chia seeds.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches work wonderfully and provide a frostier texture.
• For an added nutritional boost, toss in a handful of spinach or kale – the flavors blend seamlessly with the sweetness of the peaches.
• Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing experience, especially on a hot day.
• To make this smoothie even more indulgent, top with a dollop of whipped coconut cream.

Storage and Substitutions

• The smoothie is best enjoyed immediately, but you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving, as ingredients may settle.
• Substitute almond milk with oat milk or soy milk based on your dietary preferences.
• Replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt for a vegan-friendly option.

Pairings and Complements

This delightful Peach Chia Smoothie pairs excellently with light snacks and desserts. Consider enjoying it with:

• Fresh fruit salad for a vibrant, healthful meal.
• Homemade granola bars for a hearty, satisfying bite.
• Lemon poppy seed muffins for a sweet, citrusy complement.
