Notes
Here are some tips on how to choose and store peaches:
- I divided the process into 2 steps because I wanted a color gradient in my smoothie. However, you can just add all the ingredients to the blender in one shot and blend
You can use dairy/non-dairy milk based on your preference. This does not affect the taste of the smoothie in any way.
- I have made this smoothie with both peeled and un-peeled peaches. Again, you are free to choose. I prefer un-peeled because this preserves the nutritional value of the peach.
- I use fresh raspberries, but in the event you can't find them fresh, you will usually find frozen Raspberries in the frozen foods aisle.
- I use bananas (frozen or fresh) to make my smoothies thick and creamy.
- Both peaches and bananas are naturally sweet - so there is no need to add any more sugar to this smoothie.
- I use the Hamilton Beach 53603 SoundShield Blender to make my smoothies.
- Look for peaches that are fragrant and bright colored
- Gently squeeze them - if there's some give then the peach is ripe and ready to use. If the fruit is firm, it is not fully ripe.
- Choose peaches based on when you plan on using them.
- Store them at room temperature when you get home
- If they get ripe and you still don't plan on using them just yet, you can store them in your refrigerator for a couple of days.
- Peaches bruise easily, so be careful and don't store them on top of one another.
- Pitting a peach can be troublesome sometimes. Usually, just cutting the peach into two halves around the pit, will allow the pit to fall out. If however, this does not happen, use a knife or spoon to scoop out the pit.
- When choosing Raspberries, look for ones that are plump and firm.
- Don't store these fruits for too long, the fresher they are when you eat them, the better they taste.
- Raspberries will bruise easily, so don't place them under running water. Instead, dip them in a bowl of water to clean them.
