📖 Instructions

1. First, gently wash one large ripe peach. This removes any dirt or residue from the outside.
2. Carefully cut the peach away from the pit. It's okay if you don't get every last bit of peach; a little bit left on the pit won't hurt. Discard the pit, or save it to try growing a peach tree—it might just work!
3. Slice the peach into smaller chunks and place them in your blender. Smaller chunks make it easier for the blender to create a smooth consistency.
4. Pour in one cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy, as per your preference) into the blender, covering the peach pieces. Make sure the milk isn't expired!
5. Add one teaspoon of vanilla extract. A little goes a long way, so measure carefully. If you're feeling adventurous, a dash more won't hurt! I personally love the aroma it brings to the smoothie
6. If you desire a sweeter smoothie, add one tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Taste as you go; you can always add more later.
7. Secure the lid on your blender and blend until the mixture is completely smooth. Depending on your blender, this should take about 30-60 seconds. If it seems too thick, add a splash more milk.
8. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with a slice of fresh peach or a vanilla bean, if you're feeling fancy. I like to use a cute straw too! It adds character.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Vanilla Peach Perfection Smoothie!
