This Strawberry Peach Breakfast Smoothie is a delicious blend of strawberries, peaches, vanilla, and your choice of mix-ins and add-ons! And even though it’s a breakfast smoothie designed to be filling on the fly, this smoothie can morph into several other recipes and treats! Tips and tricks included! {Paleo and/or Vegan}

Spiriteds, strawberries + peaches = WHERE HAVE THESE TWO BEEN ALL MY LIFE? They are so good together. Like Tony and Ziva, Jessica Fletcher and her typewriter, and chocolate and almond butter. Some combos are just meant to find each other and then STAY TOGETHER. 

And for such a simple gluten-free, dairy-free smoothie recipe, this one sure has countless ways to enjoy it. It’s like a 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 or infinity-and-1 kind of recipe. Want to make it slushy? DONE. We can do that. Want to turn it into popsicles? Sure, why not? Want just a simple sippy drink? Well, why didn’t you say so? Oh, this is you saying so right now? That’s fair. However you want to enjoy this smoothie, you can.

Even though I call this a breakfast smoothie, the truth is, it’s an enjoy-whenever-and-however-you-want smoothie. I now enjoy it during the afternoon when I hit that weird window between lunch and dinner and I’m busy but want something filling. It’s not exactly breakfast, but it’s just the recipe I need to keep going. It’s afternoon breakfast, breakfast part two, if you will. 

Whatever you want to call it, and whenever you want to sip and savor it, Strawberry Peach Breakfast Smoothie is a deliciously sweet and slightly tart and tangy drink!

Now grab a high-speed blender, fresh fruits, and let’s do this! I’m excited for you to try it!

This smoothie is

• Gluten-free
• Dairy-free
• Vegan and/or paleo
• Sweet and a little tangy
• Customizable for countless ways to enjoy it!

Side note: Whether you want your Strawberry Peach Breakfast Smoothie to be vegan or paleo will depend largely on the type of liquid sweetener you choose.

Strawberry Peach Breakfast Smoothie ingredients

• Fresh strawberries and fresh peaches. You can’t beat fresh fruit in this smoothie because of the naturally sweet flavor each one offers. And their consistency is just right, too.
• Liquid sweetener. 100% pure honey (paleo) and agave nectar (vegan) are two excellent options. Although the flavor is quite specific, you can also try 100% pure maple syrup (paleo or vegan). Lastly, a few drops stevia would also work (vegan and, depending on how it’s process, paleo).
• Vanilla. A splash to soften the flavor.
• Optional add-ons or mix-ins: Water if you need to thin it out or neutralize tart fruits, dairy-free milk (in place of water) for a different flavor, ice cubes for a slushy consistency, and flaxseed or chia seeds for added bulk or nutrients.

How to make Strawberry Peach Breakfast Smoothie

1. Rinse and slice the fruits. Remove the strawberry leaves and peach pits. Combine the fruit, liquid sweetener, and vanilla in a high-speed blender. If you would like a thinner smoothie or your find the fruit is sticking to the blades, then add 1/8 – 1/4 cup water or dairy-free milk. Blend until smooth. Add a handful or two of ice cubes if you’d like a slushy consistency.
2. Stir in flaxseed or chia seeds, if desired. Enjoy as is or refrigerate in glass jars for about 2-3 days.

Recipe best practices and notes

You wouldn’t think a simple smoothie recipe could run into too many obstacles, but there are a lot of different ways to take this recipe, depending on how you want to enjoy it. 

• Even if I plan to add ice cubes for a slushy smoothie, I sometimes add a little water to help break down the fruits and prevent them from clogging the blender blades. Depending on your blender and desired consistency, you may or may not need to do this.
• If you don’t want a slushy smoothie but find your smoothie is becoming hot in the blender, then do one of two things. One, add just a few ice cubes to the blender to cool the drink. Two, if you don’t need to drink the smoothie right away and don’t want to mess with ice cubes, then refrigerate the smoothie for about 15 to 30 minutes.
• For a frozen treat, pour the smoothie mixture into popsicle moulds. Freeze for about 30 minutes to an hour or until the popsicles are firm enough to be handled. If they stick to the moulds and you can’t loosen the popsicles, then run them until cool water and jostle the handles until the popsicles loosen.
• You can use frozen fruit, too, in place of fresh fruit. This is especially helpful if you want to enjoy this smoothie in the off-season. Plan to add more liquids to blend the frozen fruits together. You may also need more liquid sweetener if the frozen fruit isn’t as sweet. Alternatively, thaw the fruit first and then reserve the juices that pool during the thawing process. Add those juices to the blender until you reached the desired smoothie consistency you want.

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, halved and leaves removed

Instructions

1. Combine fruit and water in high-speed blender and mix on medium to high speed until smooth.
2. Add honey or agave nectar and vanilla, if including, continuing to blend until mixed.
3. Add flaxseed or chia seeds. (K-Hubs is a big flaxseed fan, while I am more of a chia seed fan. Go with your preference. This tangy smoothie, although freakishly delicious, doesn’t “hide” additional flavors the way some recipes do.)
4. Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes (this is a smoothie best served cold).
