Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Fresh Peaches: Look for ripe peaches that yield slightly to pressure; they should smell heavenly.
  • Fresh Raspberries: Choose plump berries with a deep color for the best taste and texture.
  • Yogurt: Use plain or vanilla yogurt for creaminess without overpowering the fruit flavors.
  • Honey or Maple Syrup: Sweeten to taste; adjust based on how sweet your fruits are.
  • Ice Cubes: Essential for achieving that frosty texture we all love in smoothies.
  • Milk (or Dairy Alternative): Add milk for creaminess; almond or coconut milk works well if you’re dairy-free.

Let’s Make it Together

Gather Your Ingredients: Start by collecting all your fresh peaches and raspberries along with yogurt and sweetener. Having everything ready makes blending easier.

Prep the Fruit: Slice the peaches and remove the pit. Rinse the raspberries gently under cool water to keep their shape intact.

Add Ingredients to Blender: Toss your sliced peaches, raspberries, yogurt, honey or maple syrup into a blender. Pour in your choice of milk until you reach desired consistency.

Blend Until Smooth: Secure the blender lid and blend on high until everything is beautifully combined and smooth. You might need to scrape down the sides for even blending.

Taste Test & Adjust: Pause blending to taste your creation. Add more sweetener if necessary or even extra fruit if you want it thicker!

Pour & Enjoy!: Once satisfied with the flavor and texture, pour the creamy mixture into glasses. Garnish with fresh berries if feeling fancy!

This peach raspberry smoothie can brighten your day in mere minutes. So grab those fruits and hit blend!

Chef's Helpful Tips
