I gave myself a big pat on the back after making this smoothie! Simply put, this one is amazing! I was hoping to incorporate a fruit I don’t normally use in my smoothies and just happened to have a couple of ripe nectarines lying around the kitchen. So, I looked around to see what else I had and ended up using some frozen strawberries I had just put in the freezer the day before, added a banana and then tossed in the nectarine, and pure amazingness happened.
This will definitely be a repeat smoothie for me. The nectarine really added some punch to what would normally be a mundane strawberry banana smoothie.
Ingredients
- about 8 oz frozen strawberries (or one BIG handful)
- 1 nectarine, pitted (ripe is essential)
- 1 banana
- 1 cup almond milk
Method
1
Blend in a high speed blender until smooth. Optionally, you can add greens to this as well — I actually ended up adding a huge handful of spinach after taking the picture and it didn't affect the taste too much at all.
