Ingredients

• 4 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
• 1 banana, frozen
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option)
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or your preferred milk)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup granola (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons sliced almonds (optional for crunch)
• Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1:

In a blender, combine the chopped peaches, frozen banana, Greek yogurt, almond milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. If you’d like a thinner consistency, add more almond milk a little at a time.

Step 2:

Once the smoothie base is ready, pour it into bowls. The texture should be thick enough to hold up your toppings.

Step 3:

Top each bowl generously with granola, sliced almonds, and a couple of fresh mint leaves. Feel free to get creative with your toppings – fresh berries or shredded coconut work wonderfully too.

Step 4:

Dive in with a spoon and enjoy your Peach Cobbler Smoothie Bowl immediately. You might find yourself coming back for seconds.

Common Mistakes

One common mistake is using overly ripe or overly firm peaches. Make sure to choose peaches that are just ripe enough to be sweet and juicy, but not so ripe that they’re mushy. Additionally, blending too long can turn your smoothie into a hot mess; just blend until smooth to keep the creamy texture.

Chef’s Notes

• For a touch of fun, add a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter into the smoothie for a protein boost.
• Feeling adventurous? Add a pinch of nutmeg for a warm spice kick.
• Store any leftover smoothie in the fridge for a quick breakfast the next day. Just give it a quick stir or blend again to restore its creamy consistency.
