This refreshing Nectarine Smoothie combines the natural sweetness of frozen nectarines and banana with hydrating coconut water, enhanced by a hint of vanilla and warm cinnamon. Perfect as a quick, nutritious breakfast or post-workout drink, it can be easily customized with protein powder and sweetener to suit your taste and dietary needs.

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 diced and frozen nectarines
  • ½ to 1 frozen banana

Liquids

  • 1 to 2 cups coconut water
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Spices & Sweeteners

  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Add-ons

  • 1 to 2 scoops protein powder (optional, unflavored or vanilla flavor recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Start by ensuring the nectarines and banana are diced and frozen. Freezing the fruit in advance gives the smoothie a creamy, chilled texture without needing to add ice.
  2. Add ingredients to blender: Place the frozen nectarines and banana in a blender. Add 1 to 2 cups of coconut water depending on your desired smoothie thickness.
  3. Flavor your smoothie: Add ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of ground cinnamon to give the smoothie a subtle warmth and depth of flavor.
  4. Include optional ingredients: If you want extra protein, add 1 to 2 scoops of protein powder (unflavored or vanilla works best). For added sweetness, include 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup if desired.
  5. Blend until smooth: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth with no visible chunks. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more coconut water and blend again to adjust texture.
  6. Serve immediately: Pour the smoothie into glasses and enjoy right away for the freshest taste and best texture.

Notes

  • Using frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice, keeping the smoothie creamy and flavorful.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup, or omit entirely for a natural fruit flavor.
  • Protein powder is optional but adds a great boost for post-workout recovery or extra satiety.
  • Coconut water hydrates and adds electrolytes, making this smoothie a perfect refreshing option.
  • For a vegan smoothie, use maple syrup instead of honey.
