Ingredients

• 2 ripe peaches (fresh or frozen), pitted and chopped
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or regular yogurt for a creamier texture)
• 1/2 cup milk (any kind: whole, almond, oat, etc.)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
• Ice cubes (about 1/2 cup, optional, for a colder smoothie)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. If you're using fresh peaches, peel, pit, and chop them into chunks. If you're using frozen peaches, you can skip the chopping step and add them directly to the blender.
2. Measure out the Greek yogurt, milk, and honey or maple syrup (if desired).

Step 2: Blend the Smoothie

1. Add the peaches, Greek yogurt, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract (if using) into a blender.
2. Add the ice cubes for a colder, thicker smoothie. If you prefer a thinner smoothie, you can skip the ice or add a little more milk.
3. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner smoothie or more ice for a thicker one.

Step 3: Taste and Adjust

1. Taste the smoothie and add more honey or maple syrup if you want it sweeter.
2. If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 4: Serve

1. Pour the smoothie into glasses, and serve immediately.
2. Garnish with a peach slice or a sprig of mint for extra flair.

Tips for the Best Peach Smoothie

• Frozen peaches: For a creamier texture, use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones.
• Vegan option: If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can use almond milk or coconut milk and swap the Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt.
• Extra flavor: Add a handful of spinach or a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra nutrients without affecting the flavor.
• Add-ins: You can also add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of peanut butter for a protein-packed smoothie.

Storage

• Freshness: This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Stir before serving as it may separate.
• Freezing: If you'd like to make it in advance, freeze the chopped peaches and other ingredients in a bag and blend with the liquid when you're ready to drink.

Enjoy your Peach Smoothie – a simple, healthy, and delicious drink that’s perfect for any time of the day! 🍑🥤
