Sweet, creamy and smooth with a mellow peach flavour and a hint of coconut.
About this smoothie
Canned peaches are practical because they are always ripe and soft, and they blend into a silky texture. Their sweetness depends on the liquid they are packed in: fruit in juice is lighter than fruit in syrup, so drain them either way. Yoghurt and milk make the smoothie creamy and give it some protein. A good choice for breakfast when there is no fresh fruit in the house.
Bartender tips
Choose peaches packed in juice rather than syrup to keep the sweetness in check.
Chill the can in the fridge beforehand so the smoothie comes out cold.
Variations
With fresh peaches
In summer use two ripe fresh peaches, stoned and chopped, plus a few ice cubes.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use fresh peaches?
Yes, two ripe peaches replace the canned fruit. Peeling is optional.
Is it vegan?
Not as written. Use plant-based yoghurt and oat or soy drink and it is.
What can I do with the syrup from the can?
Save it for fruit salads or sweetening tea; it makes the smoothie too sweet.
