About this smoothie

Peach melba, peaches with raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream, was created by the French chef Auguste Escoffier in honour of the singer Nellie Melba. The fruit pairing works just as well in a smoothie: ripe peaches bring body and floral sweetness, raspberries acidity and colour.

Both fruits provide vitamin C, and raspberries add fibre. Made with water, this stays a light, fruity drink for summer mornings or warm afternoons.

Bartender tips

  • Peel the peaches if you dislike the furry skin in the drink.
  • Out of season, frozen peaches and raspberries give a thick, cold result.

Variations

Melba smoothie
Replace half the water with milk and add a pinch of vanilla.
