Skill Level: Easy
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
- Place the peach slices, banana slices, almond milk, Greek yogurt, honey (if using), and almond extract into a blender.
- 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.
- 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.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or almond flavor if necessary by adding more honey or almond extract.
- 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.
