Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 ripe peach, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes, as needed
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of raspberries (fresh or frozen), 1 ripe peach (pitted and sliced), 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup (optional), and ice cubes as needed.
- If using fresh raspberries, rinse them gently under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If using frozen raspberries, you can use them directly without thawing.
- Take the ripe peach, slice it in half, remove the pit, and then cut it into smaller slices for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the raspberries, peach slices, almond milk, and honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter smoothie.
- Add ice cubes to the blender according to your desired thickness and chilliness of the smoothie. Start with a handful and adjust as needed.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender.
- Once blended, stop the blender and check the consistency. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a few whole raspberries or peach slices on top if desired.
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: For an extra thick and frosty smoothie, use frozen raspberries or add a few extra ice cubes.
- Sweetness Control: The honey or maple syrup is optional. Ripe fruits are naturally sweet, so taste before adding any additional sweetener.
- Milk Alternatives: While almond milk works great, feel free to experiment with other plant-based milks like coconut or oat milk for different flavor profiles.
- Boost Nutrition: Consider adding a handful of spinach, a scoop of protein powder, or a tablespoon of chia seeds to increase the nutritional value.
- Blending Technique: Start blending at a low speed and gradually increase to high to ensure smooth, lump-free results.
- Serving Suggestion: For an Instagram-worthy presentation, garnish with fresh raspberries, a peach slice, or a mint leaf.
- Prep Ahead: You can prep and freeze portioned fruit the night before for an even quicker morning smoothie.
