Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Ripe peaches
- 1 cup Dark sweet cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 0.5 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and remove the pits. Cut them into rough chunks.
If using fresh cherries, pit them. If using frozen cherries, ensure they are pitted and slightly thawed for easier blending.
Add the peach chunks, dark sweet cherries, Greek yogurt, milk, maple syrup or honey (if using), and vanilla extract to a blender.
Top with the ice cubes for added chill and texture.
Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes or until smooth and creamy. If the consistency is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more maple syrup or honey.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Garnish with a peach slice or a cherry on the rim if desired.
