How to Make a Smoothie with Peaches
Smoothies have a little formula. (For anyone who gets excited by math, you’ll love this!) Blend one medium piece of fresh fruit and one cup of frozen fruit with a cup or cup and a half of plant milk and you’ve got yourself a dreamy, luscious fruit smoothie!
Creating this smoothie is just the same. We’re using peaches, bananas, and plant milk to whip up our most beautiful beverage yet! The slightly orange/pink hue is hard to resist, especially with such a fantastic peachy flavor.
Helpful Tips and Suggestions
Making this peach banana smoothie recipe is not only fun and incredibly tasty, but it’s also a great way of using up the little bits of extra pantry staples. Those few nuts or seeds at the bottom of the jar will now have a home on top (or blended into!) your smoothie.
- Peach Cobbler Smoothie Bowl Suggestion: Reduce the dairy-free milk by ½ cup to create a thicker consistency. Pour the smoothie into a wide, shallow bowl and garnish with thin peach slices, pecans or granola, a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream, and a dash of cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg.
- Not Sweet Enough?: Use sweetened instead of unsweetened dairy-free milk. Or, feel free to add a tablespoon or more of a sweetener of your choice (such as agave) or a couple of soaked, pitted dates to the smoothie.
- Appetizing Add-Ins: How about tossing in some tasty toppings such as a spoonful of seeds (flax, chia, or hemp), shredded coconut (for a hint of the tropics), dried fruit (banana chips, pineapple, or apricots), or even a little bit of apricot nectar? Garnish with a few chopped nuts (almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, walnuts, or pistachios) or nut butter. Yum!
How to Freeze Fresh Peaches
If you’ll be picking your peaches fresh and then freezing them, make sure you allow the peaches to ripen fully (soft, slightly squishy, and smelling strongly of peach) before slicing and freezing.
Peel the skin off of the peach. Cut the peach in half and remove the pit. Chop into quarters or thick slices. Wipe off excess liquid gently and place into a freeze-safe bag or container. Freeze overnight for best results.
Benefits of Using Peaches
What’s so great about peaches? We had no idea that this adorable butt-shaped fruit could be so fabulous for your health. If you only love these fuzzy fruits for the flavor, you’ll be happy to know there’s a lot more to love!
- Did you know that peaches are high in fiber? A medium peach has at least 2 grams of fiber, half insoluble and half soluble—that’s pretty awesome!
- High in antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and niacin. If you’ve been searching for way to get in more vitamins E and K, peaches are a great choice!
- There are brand new studies showing that peaches may help lower the incidence of histamines entering your bloodstream. That means fewer annoying allergy symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and itching.
