My favorite part is using sun ripened peaches from a local farm stand One batch always transports me back to lazy afternoons in my grandmother's kitchen sharing smoothies with family
Storage Tips
If you have leftovers pour the smoothie into a sealed jar and refrigerate for up to one day Stir well before drinking since separation is natural Freezing is possible just thaw overnight in the fridge and blend briefly to re-fluff
Ingredient Substitutions
Try mango instead of peaches for a tropical flair Any dairy or nondairy yogurt works as a swap for Greek yogurt Oat milk or regular milk both blend nicely if almond milk is not your favorite
Serving Suggestions
Pour into chilled glasses and top with extra berries or peach slices for a pretty touch Sometimes I add a small handful of granola for a breakfast style parfait
