Ingredients
- 1 cup mixed summer fruits (strawberries, blueberries, peaches)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients: 1 cup of mixed summer fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, and peaches), 1 ripe banana, 1 cup of almond milk, 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and a handful of ice cubes.
- Wash the mixed summer fruits thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- If using fresh strawberries, hull them by removing the green tops and any white parts. Cut larger fruits like peaches into smaller pieces for easier blending.
- Peel the banana and break it into chunks. This will help it blend more easily.
- In a blender, add the mixed summer fruits, banana chunks, almond milk, and cayenne pepper.
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the blender for a refreshing, chilled smoothie.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. This should take about 30-60 seconds, depending on your blender's power.
- Once blended, taste the smoothie. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a little honey or maple syrup, then blend again to combine.
- Pour the smoothie into two glasses, and if desired, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper on top for an extra kick and garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Summer Fruit Smoothie Cayenne!
