Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches, peeled and pitted
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Start by preparing your peaches: peel, pit, and slice them into chunks. Place them in a blender.
2. Add the Greek yogurt, honey, freshly grated ginger, and orange juice to the blender. The combination of creamy yogurt and tangy orange juice will bring a delightful balance to the smoothie.
3. Add the ice cubes to the blender. Blend until smooth, looking for a creamy texture and a peachy aroma with a hint of spicy ginger.
4. Taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more honey. Blend again briefly to mix.
5. Pour the smoothie into two glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and an extra touch of freshness.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If fresh peaches are not in season, use frozen peach slices. This will also give your smoothie an extra chill.
• For a vegan option, replace the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use agave syrup instead of honey.
• Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, and consider adding a fun twist by drizzling in some raspberry puree for a marble effect.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or blend again before serving. If you have dietary restrictions or ingredient availability issues, here are some substitutions:

• Substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for a non-dairy alternative.
• Replace honey with maple syrup or agave for different sweetness options.
• Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness if peaches are not available.

Pairings and Complements

This Peach Ginger Smoothie pairs wonderfully with light, summery snacks such as:

• Granola and yogurt parfaits.
• Fresh fruit salad.
• A slice of lemon or almond cake for a more indulgent treat.
