Total Time: 5 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 peach, sliced
- 1 banana
- 1 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk
- Honey to taste
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and remove any stems or leaves. If using fresh strawberries, hull them by removing the green leafy top.
- Peel the banana and slice it into chunks. For easier blending and a creamier texture, you can cut the banana into 1-inch pieces.
- Wash the peach and slice it, removing the pit. If the peach skin is tough, you may choose to peel it, though leaving the skin on adds extra nutrients.
- Add the prepared strawberries, banana chunks, and peach slices into a blender.
- Pour in the yogurt and milk. For a thicker smoothie, use Greek yogurt or reduce the milk quantity slightly.
- Drizzle honey to taste. Start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust according to your preferred sweetness level.
- Blend all ingredients on high speed for 30-45 seconds until smooth and completely combined. Pause and scrape down the sides if needed to ensure everything is well mixed.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses. For an extra touch, you can garnish with a fresh strawberry or a peach slice on the rim.
- Serve immediately for the best flavor and nutritional value. If not consuming right away, refrigerate and consume within 24 hours.
Tips
- Choose the Right Ingredients: For the freshest flavor, opt for ripe, in-season strawberries and peaches. If they're out of season, frozen fruits work just as well and can make your smoothie even creamier.
- Customize Your Sweetness: Everyone's taste buds are different! Start with a small amount of honey, and blend your smoothie before tasting. You can always add more if you prefer a sweeter drink.
- Boost the Nutrition: Consider adding a handful of spinach or a scoop of protein powder for an extra nutritional boost without altering the flavor too much.
- Blend for the Perfect Texture: Blend your ingredients on high speed for at least 30 seconds. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, reduce the milk or add more yogurt. For a thinner consistency, just add a splash more milk.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your smoothie experience by garnishing with a slice of peach or a fresh strawberry on the rim of your glass. It not only looks appealing but also adds a little extra flavor!
- Serve Fresh: Enjoy your smoothie immediately for the best taste and texture. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator and consume it within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
