Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 medium ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
Dairy & Alternatives
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 cup almond milk (unsweetened or sweetened)
Other Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (about 30 grams)
- 1 cup ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the required ingredients, ensuring you have fresh raspberries, ripe peaches, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, protein powder, and optional ice cubes ready for use.
- Prepare Fruits: Wash the fresh raspberries thoroughly under cold water. Then pit and slice the peaches into manageable pieces for blending.
- Blend Smoothie: Place the raspberries, sliced peaches, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey, protein powder, and ice cubes (if using) into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, without any large fruit pieces remaining.
- Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness of the smoothie and add additional almond milk for a thinner consistency or more ice cubes for a thicker, chilled texture. Blend again briefly if any adjustments are made.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen raspberries or peaches if fresh fruits are out of season to keep the smoothie cold and thick.
- Adjust honey quantity based on desired sweetness, or substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar for variation.
- Vanilla protein powder can be substituted with any preferred flavor, though vanilla complements the fruit well.
- For a vegan option, use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours if necessary.
