I adore mixing fresh peaches and blueberries with rich almond milk and a perfectly ripe banana for a mouthwatering smoothie. It’s so full of vitamins and antioxidants, I almost feel guilty when I have more than one.

My favorite part? A drop or two of vanilla extract intensifies the flavor, while a squirt of honey or maple syrup (my preferred add-in) gives it a little extra sweetness without using any yogurt.

Substitutions and Variations

Pears: You can swap fresh or frozen pears for the peaches.
Blueberries: Substitute raspberries or blackberries for a unique berry twist.
Banana: For a creamy texture without the banana flavor, use an avocado or half a cup of silken tofu.
Almond milk: Select oat milk or coconut milk if you want another different non-dairy substitute.
Sweeteners could include honey or maple syrup. You could also use agave nectar or a few pitted dates.

Pro Tips

1. Peach Preparation If using fresh peaches, blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water. This makes peeling easier and removes the fuzzy skin for a smoother texture.

2. Banana Ripeness Use a ripe banana for natural sweetness and creaminess. It will blend more easily and enhance the flavor without needing additional sweeteners.

3. Frozen Fruit Usage If using frozen peaches or blueberries, you can skip the ice cubes to keep the smoothie thick and cold without diluting the flavors.

4. Flavor Boost Add a pinch of cinnamon or a small piece of fresh ginger to the blender for an extra layer of flavor that complements the fruit.

5. Creamier Texture For a creamier smoothie, substitute half of the almond milk with Greek yogurt or add a tablespoon of nut butter to increase the richness.
