🍑 Peach & Spinach “Green Glow” Smoothie
Ingredients
-
1 cup Fresh baby spinach (tightly packed)
-
1 ½ cups Sliced peaches or nectarines (frozen works best for that thick texture)
-
½ Banana (adds creaminess and natural sweetness)
-
¾ cup Liquid base (Unsweetened almond milk, coconut water, or orange juice)
-
½ cup Greek yogurt (optional, for extra protein and a smoother finish)
-
1 tsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice (keeps the green color bright)
Instructions
-
Liquid First: Pour your liquid base into the blender. This helps the blades move freely and prevents “air pockets.”
-
Greens Second: Add the fresh spinach. Blend the liquid and spinach together first if you want a completely smooth, speckle-free drink.
-
The Rest: Add the peaches, banana, yogurt, and lemon juice.
-
Blend: Start on low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend for 45–60 seconds until the mixture is perfectly vibrant and smooth.
-
Serve: Pour into a tall glass and add those stylish chevron straws!
Pro-Tips for the Best Result
-
Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid. If it’s too thin, add a few ice cubes or more frozen fruit.
-
Sweetness: Peaches can vary in sweetness. If it’s a bit tart, add a drizzle of honey or a single pitted date.
-
Storage: This is best enjoyed immediately, but you can keep it in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours (just give it a good shake before drinking).
