Peach & Oat Smoothie
A thick, fruity, filling smoothie with fresh peaches and rolled oats!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Makes: 1 large or 2 small servings
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 2 peaches ripe but firm, chilled
- 1/4 cup halved and pitted cherries
- 1/2 cup plain yoghurt chilled
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp vanilla powder optional
- Flaked almonds for topping optional
Instructions
- In a blender or food processor (see recipe notes), blitz the oats till they are finely ground. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.<br></br>
- Pit the peaches and slice them thinly. Add them to the blender along with the cherries. Blitz until smooth. Add a spoonful of yoghurt to help move the mixture along if needed.<br></br>
- Once the fruits are blended till almost entirely smooth, add the remaining yoghurt, honey and vanilla. Blend very well.<br></br>
- Add the powdered oats and blend again. The smoothie will not be too thick at this stage. Taste and add more honey and vanilla as needed.<br></br>
- Transfer to a tall glass, garnish with flaked almonds and chill for 15 minutes to let it thicken, then drink up! Smoothie is best consumed on the same day itself. Enjoy!
Notes
*If you have a powerful blender, it can be used for every step. But I used my 'chutney grinder' attachment to blitz the oats and puree the fruit, then used the larger attachment to blend everything together.
*I'm sure a dairy-free milk or yoghurt could be used to make this smoothie vegan!
