Ingredients

1 cup (150 g) frozen raspberries
1 cup (150 g) frozen peach slices
1 banana, peeled
1 cup (240 ml) almond milk (or your preferred milk)
1/2 cup (120 ml) orange juice
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
1/2 cup (120 g) plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (optional, for creaminess)

Directions

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Ensure all your fruit is peeled and frozen for a creamy, cold smoothie. If using fresh fruit, add a handful of ice cubes.

Step 2: Blend the Smoothie

Add the frozen raspberries, frozen peaches, banana, almond milk, orange juice, honey or maple syrup (if using), and Greek yogurt (if using) into a blender.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if necessary. Adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if it’s too thick.

Step 4: Serve

Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh raspberries, peach slices, or a sprig of mint.

Notes

Make it dairy-free: Skip the Greek yogurt or use a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt.
Boost the nutrition: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds, or a scoop of protein powder for added nutrients.
Storage: Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir well before drinking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this Raspberry Peach Smoothie ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare this smoothie ahead of time, but it’s best enjoyed fresh. You can blend the smoothie and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Keep in mind that the texture might change slightly; give it a good shake or stir before drinking to restore its consistency. For longer storage, you can prep the ingredients (frozen fruit, banana slices) and store them in a freezer bag for up to a month, then blend when ready to enjoy.

What substitutions can I make if I don’t have all the ingredients?

Absolutely! If you’re missing ingredients, there are several substitutions you can make. Instead of almond milk, you can use any other milk like soy milk, oat milk, or dairy milk, using the same 1 cup (240 ml) measurement. If you don’t have raspberries, you can substitute with an equal amount (1 cup or 150g) of strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries. For the orange juice, you could use apple juice or pineapple juice (1/2 cup or 120ml) for a different flavor profile. If you don’t have honey or maple syrup, you can use a few drops of stevia or another sweetener to taste.

How do I know when the smoothie is perfectly blended?

The perfect smoothie consistency is smooth and creamy, without any chunks of frozen fruit. Visually, it should be a uniform color and texture, with no visible ice crystals or large pieces of fruit. You should also hear the blender working efficiently, with a smooth, consistent sound. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk (or your milk of choice) until you reach your desired consistency.

Can I double or triple this recipe to make more smoothies?

Yes, you can easily scale up this recipe! Simply double or triple the ingredient amounts. When doubling or tripling, you might need to blend in batches, depending on the size of your blender. If your blender struggles, blend half of the ingredients at a time. Ensure you have enough space in your glasses for serving. The blending time may slightly increase, so blend until the desired consistency is achieved.

Bananas provide potassium and fiber, supporting heart health and digestion. Almond milk is a good source of vitamin E. The addition of Greek yogurt adds protein and probiotics, promoting gut health.
