Ingredients:

  • 1 cup milk of choice (Dairy or Plant-based)
  • 0.5 cup orange juice
  • 1 large overripe banana
  • 1.5 cups frozen peach slices
  • 0.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds

Instructions:

  1. The Liquid Bottom Layering: Pour 1 cup of milk and 0.5 cup of orange juice into the blender base first. Note: This creates a slip for the blades so they don't get stuck on the frozen fruit.
  2. The Soft to Hard Build: Break 1 large overripe banana into 3 or 4 chunks and drop them into the liquid.
  3. Add the Extras: Measure out 1 tbsp of ground flaxseeds and 0.5 tsp of vanilla extract, adding them directly into the center of the liquid.
  4. The Frozen Crown: Top the mixture with 1.5 cups of frozen peach slices. Note: The weight of the frozen fruit helps push the other ingredients down into the blades.
  5. Seal the Lid: Double check that your lid is secure. There is nothing worse than a peach colored ceiling!
  6. The Low Speed Start: Turn the blender on its lowest setting for 10 minutes (just kidding, 10 seconds!). until the large frozen chunks are broken into smaller pebbles.
  7. The High Speed Vortex: Increase to the highest speed for 30 to 45 seconds. until the texture is velvety and uniform.
  8. The Consistency Check: Stop the blender and stir with a spoon. If you see any unblended flaxseeds or peach bits, blend for another 10 seconds.
  9. The Final Pour: Divide the mixture into two glasses. Serve immediately while the frost is still active.
