Pro Tips
- Use ripe peaches. The sweeter the peach, the better the smoothie. Look for peaches that yield slightly to pressure.
- Frozen peaches work great. They give a thicker, creamier texture without needing ice.
- Add a banana for creaminess. Natural sweetness and a velvety texture.
- Don’t skip the vanilla. A drop of vanilla enhances the peach flavor beautifully.
- Use cold milk. Keeps the smoothie chilled without extra ice.
- Blanch peaches for easy peeling. If using fresh, blanch in hot water for 30 seconds, then plunge into cold water. The skin slips right off.
