Unlike highly processed snacks, fruit-based smoothies provide fruit sugar and other vitamins that will fill you up and give you lasting energy to keep you going. This Lime Peach Smoothie is a great meal replacement that will fill you up and pick you up to be the best dad you can be.
Items like a Magic Bullet or a powerful blender have made creation and cleanup very easy. Here is the recipe and process for the Lime Peach Smoothie.
Ingredients
Lime Peach Smoothie (344 Calories)
- 1.25 Cups of Frozen Sliced Peaches (63 Cal.)
- 3/4 Cup of Unsweetened Almond Milk* (35 Cal.)
- 2/3 Cup of Honey Greek Yogurt (200 Cal.)
- 2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon-Sugar Mix** (38 Cal.)
- 2 Tablespoons of Lime Juice (8 Cal.)
*Feel free to substitute Milk, Soy Milk, or your other preferred Milk Substitute
**Cinnamon-Sugar Mix is 4 parts Sugar to 1 part Cinnamon. It is great for Cinnamon Toast as well, so we keep a small jar around at all times. If you don’t want to mix you own, you can buy Cinnamon-Sugar mix at the grocery store from McCormick or other brands normally in the spice section.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- The steps are very similar and the similar to our Yogurt Peach Smoothie recipe. Add all the ingredients into your bullet blender cup or your blender. Never fill above the “Fill To” line on the device or you may end up with a mess.
- If you have different blender blades use the 4-pronged serrated blade. If that is not an option, use the most “aggressive” of your blade options. You will be breaking up frozen fruit so you will want this really blended and not chunky.
- Run in the blender until you get the consistency of a milk shake. If the smoothie is not blending well and needs more liquid to loosen it up, add more Almond Milk (or preferred substitute). Put this back on the blender and try again to see if it comes together. You may need to do this several times to find the right consistency. Try not to over add additional Almond Milk (or other), as you do not want a watered-down outcome.
- Once blended to milkshake consistency, remove from the blender, pour and serve. Pretty simple!
- Clean up should solely consist of the bullet or blender that you used. Many of the bullet cups are dishwasher safe. After a rinse it can go right into the dishwasher.
