You can sip this smoothie anytime, whether it’s for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. The natural sweetness of peaches pairs perfectly with the chocolate, making it a favorite for many. Plus, it’s super easy to make and enjoy at home.

Preparing The Ingredients

First, gather your ingredients. You will need ripe peaches and unsweetened cocoa powder. Make sure the peaches are soft for a sweeter taste.

Use fresh or frozen peaches. If they’re fresh, wash and slice them. For frozen peaches, let them thaw a bit before blending.

You will also need some plant-based milk. Almond, soy, or oat milk work well. Choose the one you like best for this smoothie.

You’ll need about a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. This gives the smoothie a rich chocolate flavor without adding too much sweetness.

Lastly, gather some ice cubes for a thicker, colder smoothie. Adjust the amount based on how thick you want your drink.

Make sure your blender is ready, too. You’ll need it to mix everything into a smooth, creamy delight.

Variations To Try

• You can add a nutty flair by tossing in a spoonful of almond or peanut butter. This gives the smoothie a creamy texture and a tasty, nutty kick.
• Try switching up the milk. Use almond milk for a light, nutty taste or coconut milk for a rich, tropical vibe. Each one changes up the flavor in a fun way.
• For a boost of nutrition, add a handful of spinach. It blends well and you won’t really taste it, but you still get all those extra vitamins.
• Sweeten things up with a little maple syrup or agave nectar. Just adjust to taste—you might find you don’t need much since the peaches are already sweet.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spicy twist. These spices can make the smoothie feel perfect for autumn.
• For a bit of texture, toss in some oats. They add thickness and make the smoothie more filling, great for a quick breakfast or snack.
• If you like a cool, refreshing taste, add a small piece of fresh ginger. It pairs nicely with the sweetness of peaches.
• Swap out the chocolate with cacao nibs for a crunchy texture. Cacao nibs give a more intense chocolate flavor without added sugar.
• You can even freeze the peaches before blending. This turns your drink into a chilled, icy treat that’s perfect for hot days.

Storage Tips

• To keep your vegan peach chocolate smoothie fresh, pour it into an airtight container. It’s best to fill the container to the top to minimize air exposure.
• Store the smoothie in the fridge if you plan to drink it within 1-2 days. The cold temperature helps maintain the flavor and texture.
• If you want to keep your smoothie longer, consider freezing it. Use freezer-safe jars or containers with a bit of room at the top for expansion. This way, you can store the smoothie for up to a month. Just remember to thaw it overnight in the fridge before enjoying.
• Before drinking, give the smoothie a good shake or stir. This helps combine the ingredients in case they’ve separated during storage.
