Tips
- Use frozen fruits for a thicker, more milkshake-like consistency. The frozen cherries are key to creating a luxurious texture.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter.
- If your smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk. If it's too thin, throw in a few more ice cubes or frozen fruits.
- Always blend oats first to ensure a smoother texture and prevent clumping.
- For a vegan version, replace honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Experiment with toppings like chia seeds, sliced almonds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added nutrition and crunch.
- Use ripe, sweet peaches for the best natural flavor. The riper the fruit, the sweeter your smoothie will be.
