Serves: 1 to 2 servings
Ingredients
  • ½ pound fresh nectarines or peaches, pitted and cut into quarters (optionally peeled)
  • 1 cup dairy-free unsweetened plain or vanilla milk beverage
  • ⅓ cup orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or your sweetener of choice
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Sliced nectarines or peaches and mint sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. Put the fruit, milk beverage, orange juice, and sweetener in your blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. You can either blend in some ice for a thicker smoothie, or pour the smoothie over ice.
  3. Garnish the smoothie with sliced nectarines and mint sprigs, if desired.
Notes
Protein Pump: You can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of your favorite dairy-free protein powder, but add it first and then add sweetener to taste, if needed. Or, you can add 1 tablespoon almond butter. It adds healthy fats, a little protein, and a creamier finish.
