Strawberry smoothie with peaches

We lied. This one’s our favorite smoothie right now. It’s a strawberry smoothie without a banana and it tastes like a satisfying strawberry dream.

“WTF are you talking about?”

You’re right. But it does.

It’s like a strawberry shake, but without all the crap in there. No, it’s a strawberry slushy smoothie shake.

We know, we know. We just posted the peach smoothie recipe, but this one.

It’s AMAZING.

We think it’s the first, okay second time we can honestly say We love a smoothie. Not because it’s healthy and makes us feel “strong”. It does, but that’s not the point.

The point is that our tastebuds LOVE this smoothie.

The texture is smooth and the smell, that smell is a reliable thing you can ask for on a hot summer day. Or any day.

We discovered this smoothie yesterday when we were about to make our peach smoothie. It was so damn hot and we didn’t have any ice or frozen peaches, but we always keep a bag of frozen strawberries in the freezer. We thought, okay they won’t do that much damage to this already solid smoothie.

So we added a few strawberries, some cinnamon and felt bad we didn’t put any greens in there, so we added a little bit of parsley.

BLOWN AWAY.

We immediately froze some peaches for next time.

Today in the morning, we made it again.

But this time we had the frozen peaches, used more frozen strawberries, added a little bit water to blend and the texture was like a slushy. Like a strawberry shake/slushy.

A little bit of a brain freeze, but so worth it.

Here’s how you make this strawberry slushy smoothie with peaches

First and most important: slice peaches and freeze in bags overnight. You can also buy frozen peaches, but they’re in season right now, so we used fresh ones.

As for the strawberries we had bought a bag of frozen strawberries – love them for smoothies!

Then you need yogurt or something yogurt-like if you don’t eat dairy. Like vegan yogurt and we think coconut cream will also work.

So you put the frozen peaches (1 peach), the strawberries (2/3 cup) and 1 Tbsp yogurt in your blender. Then you juice an orange and add the orange juice to your blender as well. Words can’t explain how much we love oranges in smoothies or cocktails, but pineapple might work as well here if you have some intolerance to oranges.

Finally you add a tsp of cinnamon. Close and blend.

If your blender doesn’t blend this mixture easily, add some nut milk or water. But just a little bit. Really probably around 1/4 cup.

Then you try it and you’re so so happy.

Here’s the printable recipe.

• Yield: 2
• Prep: 5 minutes
• Total: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 peach
• 1/2-2/3 cup frozen strawberries
• 1 tbsp yogurt
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 orange, juiced
• some parsley (optional)
• Chia to top

Method

1. Chop peaches or use frozen ones - around 1 cup. Put all ingredients except chia seeds in your blender, blend until smooth.
2. If you're having a hard time blending the mixture, add some water or nut milk of your choice (it might happen if you use both - frozen berries and frozen peaches).
3. Top with chia seeds and some fruit chunks and enjoy immediately.

Notes

We recommend using frozen berries and peaches - makes a nice, slushy-like texture. Instead of yogurt you can use vegan yogurt or coconut cream.
