Ingredients
Scale:
2 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
1 ripe banana, sliced
1 cup of spinach (optional)
1 cup of almond milk or milk of your choice
½ cup of yogurt (plain or flavored, Greek yogurt works best)
1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
Granola (optional)
Chopped nuts (optional)
Fresh fruit slices (optional)
Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients: pit and chop the peaches and slice the banana. If you're using fresh spinach, wash it thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, sliced banana, and spinach (if using). Make sure the blender is powerful enough to create a smooth consistency.
Add the almond milk and yogurt to the blender. This combination creates a creamy texture that balances the sweetness of the fruits.
Sweeten the mixture by adding honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract. This step is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
Blend the ingredients on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until smooth. Keep an eye on the texture; if too thick, add a bit more almond milk and blend again.
Once blended to your desired consistency, taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into a tall glass or bowl.
Add your desired toppings, such as granola, fresh fruit, or chia seeds.
Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of your homemade peach smoothie.
