Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 4 oz peach (approximately 1 medium peach, pitted and sliced)
- 1 cup almond milk
Optional Add-ins
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave nectar; optional if peaches are not sweet)
- 4 ice cubes
- 3 tablespoons vegan vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (or flax meal, hemp seeds)
- 1 tablespoon almond butter
Instructions
- Wash and Prep Ingredients: Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and wash the peach. Remove the pit from the peach and slice it into chunks to prepare for blending.
- Combine Ingredients in Blender: Place the blueberries, peach chunks, and a splash of almond milk into your blender’s container. Add any optional ingredients such as protein powder, chia seeds, almond butter, maple syrup, and ice cubes as desired.
- Blend the Smoothie: Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed for about 40 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and reaches your preferred consistency.
- Adjust Texture and Sweetness: For a thicker smoothie, omit the ice cubes and reduce liquid, possibly adding more peach or blueberries. For a thinner consistency, add additional almond milk or water. Taste the smoothie and, if needed, add more maple syrup or agave nectar to boost sweetness.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately while cold, enjoying its fresh and creamy texture.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries and peaches for a naturally chilled smoothie without needing ice cubes.
- Adjust sweetness based on the ripeness of the fruit; maple syrup is optional if peaches are very sweet.
- Optional protein powder, seeds, and almond butter add extra nutrition and creaminess.
- For variation, substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of your choice.
- Consume immediately for best flavor and freshness.
