Gingery Peach and Berry Smoothie Recipe Card
Ingredients
Instructions
- Add the frozen peaches, mixed berries, oats, berry preserves, ginger, and vanilla extract to a blender.
- Pour in the almond milk last. Blend on high until completely smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Fruit Smoothie
- Add the almond milk last so the blender can pull the frozen fruit toward the blades.
- Use grated fresh ginger for the brightest flavor, or ground ginger for a softer, warmer note.
- Blend a little longer than usual so the oats become completely smooth.
- Choose 100-percent-fruit preserves to add sweetness without relying on extra sugar.
Substitutions and Variations
Use oat, soy, or dairy milk instead of almond milk. Frozen mango can replace the peaches, and strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries can be used individually in place of mixed berries.
Make-Ahead Notes
Measure the frozen fruit, oats, and ginger into a freezer container ahead of time. When ready to serve, add the preserves, vanilla, and almond milk, then blend. The finished smoothie is best enjoyed immediately.
