Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
• 1 large banana, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• Ice cubes (about 1 cup)
• Fresh peach slices and almond slivers for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the peach slices, banana slices, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), and almond extract into a blender.
2. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You should be able to see the rich texture and feel the creamy consistency as you blend.
3. Add the ice cubes and blend again until the smoothie reaches your desired thickness. The ice gives a refreshing coolness and makes the drink wonderfully frosty.
4. Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or almond flavor if necessary by adding more honey or almond extract.
5. Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh peach slices and almond slivers for an extra touch of elegance and texture.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If fresh peaches are not available, frozen peaches work just as well and give the smoothie an extra thickness.
• For a dairy-free version, replace Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt.
• Serve the smoothie in a chilled glass to enhance its refreshing quality.
• For added nutritional value, throw in a handful of spinach. It will blend right in without altering the flavor.

Storage and Substitutions

• Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake before drinking.
• Substitute almond milk with any other milk alternative like oat, soy, or coconut milk to suit your preference or dietary needs.

Pairings and Complements

This smoothie pairs wonderfully with a light breakfast of whole-grain toast and avocado or a snack of almond crackers and cheese. For a sweet treat, enjoy it alongside a slice of banana bread or peach cobbler.
