Ingredients
- Ice cubes
- 1 cup
- Honey
- 2 tablespoons (or to taste)
- Plain yogurt
- 1 cup (greek yogurt for extra creaminess)
- Ripe nectarines
- 3, peeled and pitted
- Milk (optional)
- 1/2 cup (for a thinner consistency)
- Chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon (for added fiber and nutrition)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and pitting the ripe nectarines. Cut them into chunks for easier blending.
- In a blender, combine the nectarine chunks, yogurt, honey, and ice cubes. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add the milk.
- For an extra nutritional boost, add chia seeds before blending.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides if necessary.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired. Blend again briefly to mix.
- Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and serve immediately, garnished with a slice of nectarine or a sprinkle of chia seeds if desired.
Tips
- For a tropical twist, add a banana or a handful of spinach for extra nutrients without altering the taste.
- Using frozen nectarines instead of fresh will give your smoothie a thicker texture and an icy chill.
