Best ways to enjoy it
There are numerous ways to enjoy this refreshing smoothie. Consider garnishing it with a sprinkle of granola or a few slices of fresh peach on top for an added crunch. If you want to take it to the next level, serve it in a chilled glass with a colorful straw. Pair it with whole grain toast, a slice of banana bread, or a handful of nuts for a satisfying breakfast or snack combo.
How to store
If you have any leftover smoothie, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking, as it may separate slightly. For longer storage, consider pouring the smoothie into ice cube trays for a quick and easy treat later! Just pop a cube into your glass of water for a delightful fruit-infused drink.
Helpful cooking tips
For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas and fresh, seasonal peaches. This gives the smoothie a natural sweetness without the need for added sugars. If you’re using frozen peaches, there’s no need for ice, but they also lend a wonderfully creamy texture to the smoothie. Also, blending in a little spinach or kale can increase the nutritional value without altering the flavor much.
Creative twists
Feel free to mix things up! You can add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for a protein boost. Swap out peaches for other fruits like mango or strawberries for a new flavor profile. Not a fan of yogurt? Use a splash of coconut cream for a tropical vibe.
