Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh, frozen, or canned fruit (e.g., berries, bananas, mangoes, or peaches)
- 2 cups milk (or substitute with 1 cup milk and 1 cup yogurt for a creamier texture)
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 3 tablespoons sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Your Fruits: Wash and chop your fruits into smaller pieces if needed. If using frozen fruit, no need to thaw. Canned fruit should be drained before use.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: In a blender, combine the fruits, milk (or milk and yogurt), ice cubes, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Blend: Start blending on low speed to break up the ingredients, then gradually increase to high speed. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste your smoothie and adjust as needed. Add more milk for a thinner texture or additional fruit for more sweetness.
- Serve: Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. For an extra treat, garnish with a sprinkle of granola, a dollop of whipped cream, or a few fresh fruit slices.
Notes
- Customizable: Feel free to swap ingredients based on your preferences. Almond milk, coconut milk, or soy milk work great as dairy alternatives.
- Natural Sweeteners: Replace sugar with honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar for a healthier option.
- Storage: Smoothies taste best fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking.
