Ingredients
For the Smoothie:
- 1 heaping cup frozen peach slices

- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
To Garnish:
- Granola
- Fresh raspberries and/or peach slices
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen peaches, frozen raspberries (or strawberries), vanilla Greek yogurt, unsweetened dairy-free milk, and pure vanilla extract to a high-powered blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend until smooth, adding more milk if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and, if desired, add honey, pure maple syrup, or a pitted date for extra sweetness. Blend again to incorporate.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with granola and fresh raspberries or peach slices, if desired. Enjoy immediately.
- Optional Add-Ins: Feel free to double the recipe to serve two or add nutritional boosters like almond butter, hemp seeds, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrients.
Notes
- Add 1 tablespoon almond butter for a boost of healthy fats.
- Add 1-2 tablespoons hemp seeds to increase protein and omega-3s.
- If the smoothie isn’t sweet enough, add a pitted date or a drizzle of honey or pure maple syrup and blend again.
- For a nutritional boost of greens, add 1-2 cups of spinach; this changes the color but not the flavor.
