¾ cup unsweetened almond milk: You can use any milk alternative you prefer.

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.
