Strawberry Peach Smoothie

The ingredients to make this delicious smoothie are really simple:

Strawberries -  Fresh or frozen strawberries will work. If using fresh, I suggest washing them really well then slicing them in half.

Peaches - I used frozen peaches to help give it a thicker consistency and to keep the smoothie nice and cold without having to use ice.

Banana - I like using frozen bananas in my smoothies as it gives the smoothie a thick, creamy consistency. Just peel your banana ahead of time, cut it in half or thirds and lay it in a single layer on a plate. Freeze in your freezer for about 3 hours. Then transfer the frozen banana from the plate to a freezer safe bag or air-tight container. Fresh bananas work perfectly as well.

Greek or Dairy-Free yogurt: The yogurt in this recipe enhances the smoothie texture and flavor. Use your favorite vanilla greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt. I am using the dairy-free vanilla version from Yoplait Oui. It tastes delicious in this smoothie recipe.

Almond milk - Almond milk goes perfectly with this smoothie but feel free to use any plant based milk or regular whole milk as well. I also prefer using the vanilla flavored almond milk in my smoothies.

Orange juice - I like to think of this as the secret ingredient. Just a splash of orange juice goes a long way and helps give the smoothie a sweet tangy flavor. You don't need to add any additional sweeteners when you include the orange juice.

I definitely suggest investing in a good blender. Two blenders that I have used and loved are the Ninja blender and the Vitamix blender. I used the Ninja blender for 4 years before getting the Vitamix blender. Both are high powered and work really well. But any good blender will do!
