- 1 cup (240 milliliters) almond milk
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (40 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather all vegan smoothie components and prepare a high-powered blender for optimal mixing.
- Drop frozen peaches and ripe banana into the blender, ensuring they are evenly distributed for consistent texture.
- Pour almond milk over the fruit to facilitate smoother blending and help break down the frozen elements.
- Sprinkle rolled oats directly into the liquid base to enhance nutritional value and provide creamy thickness.
- Drizzle maple syrup and add vanilla extract to elevate the smoothie’s natural sweetness and aromatic profile.
- Secure the blender lid tightly and pulse on high speed, gradually increasing intensity to create a velvety, uniform mixture.
- Continue blending for 2-3 minutes, periodically pausing to scrape down sides and ensure complete ingredient integration.
- Assess the smoothie’s consistency, adding ice cubes for increased thickness if desired.
- Transfer the vibrant peach blend into a chilled glass, ready for immediate enjoyment.
- If not consuming immediately, store in a sealed container within the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, giving a vigorous stir before serving to restore original texture.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet peaches for the most intense natural flavor, enhancing the smoothie’s overall taste profile.
- Swap frozen peaches with fresh ones by adding a handful of ice cubes to maintain the creamy, thick consistency.
- Add a plant-based protein powder like pea or hemp for extra nutritional boost and muscle recovery support.
- Adjust maple syrup quantity based on fruit ripeness and personal sweetness preference, tasting before final blend.
