1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Start by preparing your ingredients: wash the peaches thoroughly, then slice them in half, remove the pits, and cut them into wedges. For optimal creaminess, ensure that you've frozen the banana ahead of time; simply peel, slice, and place it in the freezer until solid.

    In your blender, add the sliced peaches, the frozen banana, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract. If you enjoy a sweeter smoothie, you can also include the honey or maple syrup at this stage.

      Blend on high speed until all ingredients are smoothly combined and you achieve a creamy texture. If you prefer a thicker smoothie, toss in a handful of ice cubes, then blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

        Take a moment to taste your smoothie. If you feel it needs more sweetness, you can add additional honey or syrup. Blend for a final time to incorporate any extra ingredients.

          Once your smoothie is perfectly blended, pour it into tall glasses to showcase its vibrant color. Serve immediately for a delightful and refreshing treat!
