Ingredients
Scale:
2 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
1 medium banana, sliced
1 cup spinach (optional)
1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)
Ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
Start by preparing your fresh ingredients. Wash the peaches thoroughly under running water to remove any pesticides. Then slice and pit them. If using spinach, wash it well under cold water and pat it dry, removing any excess moisture to ensure a smooth blend.
In your blender, add the chopped peaches, sliced banana, and spinach (if using).
Pour in the yogurt.
Add the almond milk to help blend the ingredients smoothly.
Incorporate the optional flavor enhancers: honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
Blend on high speed for about 30-60 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or thickness by adding more honey/maple syrup or almond milk as needed.
Once blended to your liking, pour the Healthy Peach Smoothie into tall glasses.
Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness, or store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
