Ingredients
Instructions

- Blend on low for 1 minute, then increase to high until smooth.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of vanilla frozen yogurt. You can also substitute fresh peaches for frozen, but make sure to adjust the ice quantity accordingly. If you want to enhance the flavor, adding a splash of almond extract or a handful of spinach can provide additional nutrients without altering the taste significantly. This smoothie pairs beautifully with Easy Double Peanut Clusters for a delightful treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the peach smoothie in tall glasses garnished with a slice of fresh peach or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch. It makes a refreshing breakfast option or a delightful afternoon snack. Consider pairing it with a light salad or some Methodist Tea Cookies for a wonderful afternoon tea experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to enjoy, give it a good shake or stir, as separation may occur. If you prefer it chilled again, blend it briefly with a few ice cubes to restore its original creamy texture before serving.
