Smoothie Ingredients

2 medium Nectarines Pitted and roughly chopped (frozen preferred)
1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt Or use a non-dairy alternative
1/2 cup Orange Juice Freshly squeezed is best
1 tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup Adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
4-6 cubes Ice Optional, omit if using frozen nectarines

Optional Add-ins

1 tablespoon Chia Seeds For added fiber

Method

Instructions

Prepare the nectarines: Wash, pit, and roughly chop the nectarines. If you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie, freeze the chopped nectarines for at least 2 hours prior to blending.
Combine liquid ingredients: Pour the orange juice and vanilla extract into a high-powered blender.
Add solids and sweetener: Add the chopped nectarines, Greek yogurt, and honey (or maple syrup) to the blender jar.
Blend until smooth: Secure the lid and blend on high speed. If using fresh (not frozen) nectarines, add the ice cubes now and blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more orange juice.
Taste and adjust: Taste the smoothie and add more sweetener if desired. If using optional ingredients like chia seeds, pulse briefly to combine.
Serve immediately: Pour the nectarine smoothie into a tall glass and enjoy immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, substitute half of the orange juice with unsweetened almond milk. Using frozen nectarines eliminates the need for added ice, resulting in a richer flavor.
