Ingredients
- Nectarines
- 2, pitted and chopped
- Blueberries
- 1 cup, fresh or frozen
- Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup, plain or vanilla
- Almond milk
- 1 cup, unsweetened
- Honey
- 1-2 tablespoons, to taste
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients: wash the nectarines and blueberries thoroughly. Pit and chop the nectarines into smaller pieces.
- In a blender, combine the chopped nectarines, blueberries, Greek yogurt, honey, almond milk, and ice cubes.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks left.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired; blend again if you add more ingredients.
- Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and serve immediately, garnished with a few whole blueberries or a slice of nectarine for an extra touch of elegance.
- For added nutrition, consider adding a tablespoon of chia seeds or a scoop of protein powder before blending.
Tips
- For a creamier texture, use frozen nectarines instead of fresh.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice, such as oat or coconut milk, for varied flavors.
- Add a handful of spinach for a green boost—this won't alter the taste much but will add extra nutrients!
