Ginger Peach Nectarine Smoothie Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | peach (frozen) |
| 1 | medium nectarine (fresh) |
| 1 handful | dried apricots |
| 1/2 cup | cream (or milk) |
| 1 or 2 pieces | candied ginger |
Ginger Peach Nectarine Smoothie Instructions
Pour the cream (or milk) into your blender. Add the frozen peach slices. Quarter the nectarine and add to the blender. Add the apricots and the ginger.
Blend to your desired consistency.
Our testers preferred a silky smooth smoothie; chunky wasn't as popular. We experimented with milk, but loved the texture of the cream. Reviewers were split on whether they preferred no-sulfur dried apricots or sulfur-added apricots.
Instead of frozen peach slices, use a fresh peach. You may have to experiment with liquid context in this case; we recommend adding a couple of large ice cubes to cool down the whole thing.
Tips
For a dairy-free version, use full-fat coconut milk in place of the cream or milk; it adds its own richness that pairs surprisingly well with the ginger. No candied ginger in the pantry? A quarter teaspoon of ground ginger gets you a similar warmth, though you'll lose some of the sweetness the candied version provides.
Dried apricots keep for months in the pantry, so this is a good recipe to make on a whim even when fresh stone fruit is out of season. When peaches and nectarines are at their peak in summer, slice and freeze extra of both so you can make this year-round; the finished smoothie itself is best drunk fresh, since the fruit settles after an hour or two in the fridge.
Makes one large smoothie.
