🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Gather your ingredients: Make sure you have all the necessary ingredients on hand – peaches, spinach or kale, banana, chia seeds, ginger, almond milk (or any other milk you prefer), and any optional additions like protein powder or honey.
- Prepare the peaches: Wash the peaches thoroughly. If using fresh peaches, pit and slice them. If using frozen peaches, no need to thaw them beforehand. Frozen peaches will give your smoothie a thicker, frostier texture.
- Combine ingredients in a blender: Add the sliced peaches, spinach or kale, banana, chia seeds, and ginger to your blender. I recommend starting with the leafy greens at the bottom to ensure they blend well.
- Add liquid: Pour in the almond milk (or your preferred liquid). Start with about 1 cup and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency. Remember, you can always add more liquid, but you can't take it out!
- Blend until smooth: Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high speed until the smoothie is completely smooth. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds, depending on the power of your blender. If you find that the mixture is too thick, add a little more liquid and blend again.
- Taste and adjust: Once the smoothie is blended, taste it and adjust the flavors as needed. If it's not sweet enough, add a drizzle of honey or a few drops of stevia. If it needs more zing, add a tiny bit more ginger.
- Pour and enjoy: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. You can garnish with a few slices of peach, a sprig of mint, or a sprinkle of chia seeds for an extra touch of elegance. Or, if you're like me, just chug it down!
- Clean up: Rinse the blender jar immediately after use to prevent the ingredients from sticking. A quick rinse will make it much easier to clean later.
📝 Notes
- For a thicker smoothie, use frozen peaches or add a few ice cubes.
- If you don't have almond milk, you can use any other type of milk or even water.
- Feel free to add other fruits or vegetables to customize your smoothie to your liking.
