Essential Ingredients- 1 ripe, firm peach
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup fresh milk (approx. 200ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly washing the peach is crucial. First, soak the peach in water with 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar for about 10 minutes to loosen any surface impurities. Then, gently scrub the peach skin with a soft sponge and rinse it several times under clean running water. You can leave the peach skin on, or peel it if you prefer a smoother texture. Also, fruit fly eggs can sometimes be on banana peels, so it’s a good idea to rinse the banana briefly under running water before peeling. Peel the banana.
Step 2
To ensure a smooth blend, roughly chop the peach and banana into manageable pieces. Cutting them into appropriate sizes will help the blender work effectively.
Step 3
Measure out 1 cup of fresh milk. This is approximately 200ml, about the volume of a standard paper cup.
Step 4
When making smoothies, adding the liquid ingredients first helps achieve a much smoother and better blend. So, pour the measured 1 cup of milk into the blender first.
Step 5
Now, add the chopped peach and banana to the blender.
Step 6
Secure the blender lid and blend until all ingredients are smooth and well combined. The natural sweetness from the fruits is usually sufficient, so you won’t need to add sugar, honey, or syrup. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add a small amount of honey or agave syrup to your taste.
Step 7
Your delicious and refreshing firm peach smoothie is ready! Pour it into a glass and enjoy it immediately. It’s the perfect healthy and tasty summer snack.
