Preparing The Ingredients

First, gather your fresh peaches and cherries. You’ll need about two ripe peaches and a cup of cherries. Make sure your peaches aren’t too soft or too firm.

Wash the fruits well. This clears away any dirt or pesticides. Use cool, running water for the best results.

Cut the peaches into slices and remove the pits. You don’t need to peel the peaches unless you prefer a smoother texture. For the cherries, remove the pits carefully.

Get some non-dairy milk, like almond or soy milk. You’ll need about a cup. It makes the smoothie creamy. If you like it sweet, add a tablespoon of maple syrup.

Finally, grab a handful of ice cubes. This will give your smoothie a nice, cold texture. Now you’re all set to blend!

  • Switch up your peach cherry smoothie by adding different fruits. Try adding bananas for creaminess. If you like berries, toss in some blueberries or strawberries.
  • For extra flavor, think about using spices. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg. A small piece of ginger can also add a zing.
  • You can change the base for a new taste. Use almond milk instead of water for a richer blend. You can also try coconut milk for a tropical touch.
  • Add greens if you want more nutrition. A handful of spinach or kale blends well without changing the taste much.
  • To make it sweet without sugar, use dates or a little maple syrup. You could also include vanilla extract for a hint of sweetness.
  • For a protein boost, mix in a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a spoonful of almond butter.

Storage Tips

  • To keep your vegan peach cherry smoothie fresh, store it in an airtight container. A glass jar with a tight lid works great. Make sure there’s not much air inside, which helps preserve the taste and texture.
  • Place the smoothie in the fridge as soon as you make it. This way, you can enjoy it for up to 2 days with all its flavors intact. If you want to keep it for longer, freeze it.
  • When freezing, pour the smoothie into freezer-safe containers, leaving a bit of space for expansion. It can last in the freezer for up to 1 month. To enjoy later, just thaw it in the fridge or give it a good shake and a blend.
  • Remember to always use clean containers and utensils. This helps keep any bacteria and odors away from your smoothie, ensuring it stays fresh and tasty.
  • Following these tips will make sure you always have a refreshing drink ready to go when you need it.
