Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup frozen peach slices
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup low-fat milk of choice
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ginger finely grated, or a small pinch of ground ginger
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • A few ice cubes
  • Optional: a thin peach slice on the rim and a light dusting of ground ginger to serve

Method
 

  1. Add the frozen peach slices to the blender first.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, milk, grated ginger, honey, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the ice cubes.
  4. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Check consistency — if too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time.
  6. Taste and adjust — more honey for sweetness, more ginger for warmth.
  7. Pour into a tall clear glass.
  8. Top with a thin fresh peach slice on the rim and a light dusting of ground ginger if using.
  9. Serve immediately while cold and thick.

Notes

Frozen peaches cost a fraction of fresh and produce a thicker, more intensely flavoured smoothie — the freezing process concentrates the natural sweetness and eliminates the inconsistency of buying fresh peaches that are not quite ripe. A large bag of frozen peaches kept in the freezer provides many smoothie servings at very low per-serving cost. Fresh ginger bought as a root keeps for weeks in the fridge and can be grated directly from frozen if stored in the freezer, where it lasts for months.
