Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the peaches. Take 2 ripe peaches, slice them in half, remove the pits, and then cut the flesh into smaller slices. This will make it easier for your blender to process the fruit.
- Next, gather your other ingredients. Measure out 1 cup of coconut cream and 1/2 cup of almond milk. If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, you can also prepare 1 tablespoon of honey to add later.
- In a blender, combine the sliced peaches, coconut cream, almond milk, and honey (if using). Make sure to add the coconut cream first to help the blender process the ingredients smoothly.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender. This will give your smoothie a refreshing chill and a thicker texture. You can adjust the amount of ice based on your preference for thickness.
- Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed until it is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stop the blender occasionally to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary. If you want it sweeter, you can add more honey and blend again for a few seconds.
- Pour the smoothie into two serving glasses. You can garnish with a slice of peach or a sprinkle of shredded coconut on top for an added touch.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Peaches Coconut Cream Smoothie!
Tips
- Choose perfectly ripe peaches for the most intense flavor. They should be slightly soft when gently squeezed and have a sweet aroma.
- For an extra creamy texture, freeze your peach slices before blending. This will also reduce the need for ice cubes.
- If you're dairy-free or vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Experiment with add-ins like a pinch of cinnamon, a scoop of protein powder, or a handful of spinach for added nutrition.
- Use full-fat coconut cream for the richest, most indulgent smoothie experience.
- If your blender struggles with whole ice cubes, crush them slightly before adding to ensure a smoother blend.
- For a more decadent treat, top your smoothie with toasted coconut flakes or a drizzle of honey.
