Ingredients
-

-
1 cup ice cubes
Instructions

Prepare the Fruit
If using fresh peaches and mangoes, peel and dice them into small pieces to ensure smooth blending. For frozen fruit, no need to thaw—using frozen fruit will give your smoothie a nice chill and thicker consistency. -
Add to Blender
Place the almond milk, peaches, mango, vanilla extract, and ice cubes into a blender jar. Ensure the blender lid is secure. -
Blend Until Smooth
Blend on high for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is creamy and smooth, with no chunks of fruit or ice remaining. -
Check Consistency and Adjust
If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more almond milk and blend again until desired consistency is reached. For a thicker smoothie, add more ice or frozen fruit. -
Serve Immediately
Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
For best flavor, use ripe mangoes and peaches when fresh. Look for fruit that yields slightly to gentle pressure and smells fragrant.
Frozen fruit works great for a cold, thick smoothie and is convenient year-round.
Vanilla extract elevates the flavor profile, but don’t use imitation vanilla as it can taste artificial.
You can swap almond milk with any other plant-based milk like oat, cashew, or coconut milk depending on preference.
Adding a small amount of natural sweetener such as honey, agave, or maple syrup is optional but often unnecessary if fruits are ripe.
To make this smoothie more filling, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds for extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
