Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon raw honey: Feel free to adjust the sweetness based on your taste.
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice: This adds a splash of brightness to the flavor.
  • ¼ cup frozen banana pieces: These provide creaminess and natural sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon rolled oats: Oats add substance and fiber to keep you full longer.
  • ¾ cup frozen peach slices: Use unsweetened slices for a pure peach flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon ground Ceylon cinnamon: This spice adds warmth and depth.
  • ¾ cup unsweetened almond milk: You can use any milk alternative you prefer.
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract: Vanilla enhances the overall flavor.
  • ¼ cup nonfat plain or vanilla Greek yogurt: This adds creaminess and protein.
  • 1 small pinch ground ginger root: A little ginger adds warmth and complements the peach beautifully.

Instructions

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Before diving in, it’s crucial to have everything ready. Take a moment to measure out your ingredients so you can blend smoothly.

Step 2: Blend It Up

  • Start by adding the frozen peach slices, banana pieces, and rolled oats into the blender. This combination will form the fruity base of your smoothie.

Step 3: Add the Liquid Components

  • Pour in the almond milk, then add the Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and spices. The liquids will help everything blend together nicely.

Step 4: Blend Well

  • Secure the blender lid tightly. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Keep an eye on the texture; you want it velvety, not chunky.

Step 5: Taste and Adjust

  • Take a quick taste. This is the moment to adjust flavors! If you want more sweetness, throw in a tad more honey. If you think it needs more zing, squeeze in a bit more lemon juice.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Grab a tall glass, pour in your heavenly peach smoothie, and enjoy right away. You can even top it with a few fresh peach slices or a sprinkle of oats for added texture.

Notes

  • Frozen Ingredients: Using frozen peaches and bananas will give your smoothie a cold and thick texture, ideal for hot days.
  • Sweetness Level: Adjust sweetness levels by adding or reducing honey. Taste as you blend to find your perfect balance.
  • Batch-making: Consider doubling the recipe to have leftovers for the next day. Smoothies keep well in the fridge for a short time.
  • Texture Adjustment: If your smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Garnishes: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Chopped nuts, seeds, or granola can add a delightful crunch.
