Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe plums, pitted and chopped
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or your choice of milk)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker smoothie)
  • Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions:

  1. In a blender, combine the chopped plums, sliced banana, Greek yogurt, honey, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend again until they are fully crushed.
  3. Pour the smoothie into glasses, and garnish with mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
  4. Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of sweet and tangy flavors.
Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • If plums are not in season, use frozen plums or substitute with peaches or nectarines.
  • For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt.
  • Make it extra special by serving in chilled glasses.
  • For a more filling smoothie, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds before blending.
Storage and Substitutions:

  • Refrigerate any leftover smoothie in an airtight container for up to 1 day. Stir or shake well before drinking, as some separation may occur.
  • If you don’t have honey, maple syrup or agave syrup are great substitutes.
  • Adjust the almond milk quantity based on your desired consistency – more for a thinner smoothie, less for a thicker one.
Pairings and Complements:

  • Enjoy this smoothie with a light snack like almond crackers and cheese.
  • Pair it with a slice of banana bread for a delightful afternoon treat.
  • It complements well with a fresh summer salad for a refreshing combination.
