Indulge in the delightful taste of summer with this vibrant peach yogurt smoothie! Bursting with the sweet fragrance of fresh peaches and the tangy zest of yogurt, it’s the perfect cool-down drink for warm days.

Ingredients
- 1 ripe fresh peach (choose one that’s nicely ripened)
- 100ml plain yogurt (unsweetened recommended)
- 100ml milk (adjust to your preference)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for brightness and flavor)
- 3-4 ice cubes (adjust for desired chill)
- Honey or corn syrup (to taste, depending on peach sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s thoroughly wash the peach. Place the peach in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and water, and let it soak for about 5 minutes. Afterward, gently scrub the skin with a soft brush or sponge to remove any surface impurities. This step ensures a clean base for your smoothie.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the peach. The best way to cut it depends on its ripeness. If your peach is slightly firm, make a shallow cut around the middle with a knife, then gently twist both sides to separate it and peel off the skin. If your peach is very soft and ripe, like the one in the video, you can carefully peel it and then skillfully cut away the flesh from the pit. Be gentle to avoid bruising the fruit.
Step 3
It’s time to make the smoothie! Set aside one small slice of peach for garnish later. In your blender, combine the prepared peach flesh, 100ml of plain yogurt, 100ml of milk, 3-4 ice cubes, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Secure the lid of the blender and blend until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk; if you prefer it colder, add more ice and blend again.
Step 4
Finally, taste your smoothie and adjust the sweetness. If the peach is sweet enough on its own, you can enjoy it as is. If you’d like it sweeter, add honey or corn syrup to your liking and blend briefly to incorporate. Pour the smoothie into a nice glass and garnish with the reserved peach slice for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy your refreshing homemade treat!
