Alisa’s Notes

Since I have tested and approved this peach melba sunset smoothie recipe as one I would repeat, I’ve added it to the “Alisa’s Recipes” section and the pictures shown here are my own. Here are the modifications that I have recommended in the recipe and optional adaptions:

Milk Beverage Amount: Using the full 3/4 cup milk beverage that Shelly called for makes a thin sunset smoothie (the raspberry mixture falls right down the center! It took a bit of work to get the pink to emerge in streaks). For a thicker blend that is easier to layer, start with 1/2 cup milk beverage and add more as desired.

Lower Sugar: If you want to go all “Unsweetened” with the milk beverage and dairy-free yogurt, or if your peach isn’t very ripe, you can brighten the flavor with a few drops of pure stevia.

Keep the Peel: I peeled the peach, as Shelly recommended, for these pictures, but if you don’t mind little peach skin flecks in your peach melba sunset smoothie, you can skip the peeling.

Serves: 1 serving

Ingredients

• 1 frozen very ripe banana, broken into chunks
• 1 peach, peeled, pitted and chopped
• ½ to ¾ cup So Delicious Dairy Free Original Coconut Milk Beverage (see "Alisa's Notes" above)
• 2 tablespoons So Delicious Dairy Free Unsweetened Vanilla Cultured Coconut Milk
• 1 teaspoon honey (or agave nectar for vegan)
• 14 raspberries, 2 reserved for garnish

Instructions

1. In a blender combine the frozen banana, peach, milk beverage, dairy-free yogurt, and honey or agave nectar. Blend until smooth.
2. Pour most of the peach mixture into a serving glass, leaving about ⅓ cup in the blender. Add 12 raspberries to the blender, and blend until smooth.
3. Pour the raspberry mixture on top of the peach mixture and use skewer or a thin knife to push the raspberry mixture down the sides of the glass to create pretty streaked ‘sunset’ appearance. Garnish with the additional raspberries.
