Make way for the Peaches and Cream Smoothie.
The sweet, juicy peaches blend perfectly with creamy non-dairy milk, while frozen fruit adds that extra zing.
History of Peaches and Cream Flavor Combo
Ancient Chinese people first cultivated peaches, and they quickly became a symbol of good luck and prosperity in religious ceremonies. Later, the Romans brought peaches to Europe, where they quickly became a favorite fruit. Cream wasn’t added to the mix until the 17th century. At first, cooks only added cream to fresh peaches to preserve them for longer periods of time. However, people soon realized that the addition of cream made the peaches even more delicious. And so, the classic flavor combo of peaches and cream was born.
These days, you can find peaches and cream in all sorts of delicious forms – from ice cream and pies to cobblers and smoothies.
Health Benefits of Peaches
Peaches are a delicious and nutritious fruit that offer a variety of health benefits. Juicy, delicious, and nutritious – what more could you ask for in a fruit? Peaches are a great source of vitamins A and C, as well as fiber. In fact, just one peach contains about 15% of the recommended daily amount of fiber. Fiber is important for digestive health and can also help to lower cholesterol levels. Peaches are also a good source of antioxidants, which help to protect cells from damage. In addition to all of these health benefits, peaches are also low in calories and fat-free.
How to make Vegan Peaches and Cream Smoothie
To make a peaches and cream smoothie, simply combine the ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. For an extra special treat, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Tips for making a delicious and creamy Vegan Peaches and Cream Smoothie:
- Use ripe peaches. Ripeness is key to achieving a sweet and flavorful smoothie. Choose peaches that are soft to the touch and have a slightly wrinkled skin.
- Freeze your peaches ahead of time. Frozen peaches will help to thicken your smoothie and give it a nice frosty texture. Simply slice the peaches and spread them out on a baking sheet in the freezer until solid.
- Add a touch of sweetness. If your smoothie is not as sweet as you’d like, add maple syrup or agave nectar to taste.
- Use a high-powered blender. A high-powered blender will make sure your smoothie is smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you may need to add a little extra liquid to help it blend.
- Add a splash of non-dairy milk. If your smoothie is too thick, you can add a splash of non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Cinnamon adds a warm and cozy flavor that complements the peaches perfectly.
- Get creative with toppings. You can also top your smoothie with other toppings, such as fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a dollop of vegan whipped cream.
- Enjoy immediately. Smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, so don’t let them sit around for too long.
