Notes
Substitutions and add-ins
- Frozen peaches
- Using frozen fruit entirely is absolutely okay.
- Fresh fruit
- Alternatively, use all fresh fruit and add a handful of ice to achieve a colder smoothie with a thicker consistency.
- Flavoured yogurt
- Instead of plain, you can use a flavoured Greek yogurt like vanilla, strawberry or peach.
- Plant-based milk
- Instead of dairy milk, consider trying soy, oat or almond milk.
- Orange juice
- If you want an extra fruity taste, opt for orange juice instead of the milk.
- Chia seeds
- Adding chia seeds to a smoothie can change the texture slightly but it can boost the protein, fibre and omega 3 fatty acid content.
- Maple syrup
- Swap to maple syrup over honey for a sweetener.
- Protein powder
- To boost the protein content even more, consider adding ½-1 full scoop of protein powder to this recipe.
