Whilst a Lustrous Peach Smoothie may seem like immensely unhealthy, time-consuming and not worthwhile, we assure you it’s none of those things. By using random ingredients lying around, we’ve created a peach milkshake you’ll never forget.

LUSTROUS PEACH SMOOTHIE

This lustrous peach smoothie is sure to add a touch of elegance yet an aura of casualness to any event, party or random get-together. With no added sugar, sharp flavor profiles and a thick, creamy milkshake-like texture, you’re sure to be more than happy - rather ecstatic, euphoric or rapturous. Read the recipe and unlock a universe of potential!

INGREDIENTS (MAKES 3-4 CUPS):

• A small amount of milk - about one and a half tablespoons - if it turns out too thick, you can always add more. Don’t add too much milk, or it will get too watery and lose its naturally sweet flavor. If you add a bit less than needed, that’s fine too - you can always add more.

• An even smaller amount of water - if you’ve added too much milk, don’t also add the water. However, a balance between milk and water within a smoothie is always good, to make sure it doesn’t become too thick or thin.

• Two full-size peaches - whether the size of each peach is large or extra large, it doesn’t matter too much. Slice all four halves into further sixths, and spoon stones out if necessary. For a faster blending process, slice peaches more finely and into smaller pieces. There’s no need to peel the skin off - the blender will blend it into the smoothie, and it will not affect the taste or texture.

• A few slices of frozen banana - peaches alone just wouldn’t work. The banana acts as a natural sweetening agent, and also becomes the smoothie’s main source of vitamins. If you do not have any frozen banana, unfrozen banana will work too - if you have the option, choose frozen banana as it will also make the smoothie slightly colder.

METHOD:

All you really have to do is throw these ingredients into the blender. However, ensure you add all liquids first, then add any fruit to the mix.

PREP TIME:

Usually, this process takes about 5 minutes, or 6 if you like your smoothies blended more than normal. Do not try this recipe without a blender - it is likely it’ll take many more minutes if you do this.

Once you’ve made the smoothie, sit back and enjoy the succulent, natural flavors bursting from your homemade, preservative-free smoothie.
