Why Make This Recipe?
Golden Hour is a magical time of day, and what better way to celebrate it than with a smoothie that’s as vibrant and refreshing as the sunset itself?
Our Golden Hour Peach Smoothie is not just a treat for the eyes but also a powerhouse of nutrients. Packed with juicy peaches, vibrant raspberries, and the creamy goodness of JOI Almond or Cashew Milk Concentrate, this smoothie is the perfect blend of taste and health.
Plus, with the added benefits of ginger and turmeric, this smoothie is a great way to boost your immune system while enjoying a delicious drink.
Why This Recipe is Easy
We know that mornings can be hectic, which is why we’ve kept this recipe simple and quick.
With just a handful of ingredients and a blender, you can whip up this smoothie in minutes. No need for any complicated steps or hard-to-find ingredients. Just blend, layer, and enjoy.
Plus, because you're using JOI Milk Concentrate, there's no need to keep multiple cartons of plant-based milk in your fridge. Simply add JOI and water to the blender and "make" homemade plant milk as you blend up your smoothie.
Why Use JOI in This Recipe
At JOI, we believe in keeping things clean and simple. That means no added sugars, gums, or preservatives that you often find in store-bought milk. Just pure, creamy goodness and intentional ingredients.
Using JOI in this smoothie not only enhances the flavor but also boosts the nutritional value.
Almonds and cashews are rich in healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, making them a great addition to your diet. Or use JOI oat creamer for a boost of calcium and healthy fats - avocado and MCT oil!
Plus, using a concentrate means you’re cutting down on waste. One jar of JOI yields the equivalent of up to 7 quarts of store-bought milk. That means less packaging waste and a lower carbon footprint. Just because you add the water.
Substitutions and Customizations for This Recipe
One of the best things about this Golden Hour Peach Smoothie is how customizable it is. Here are a few ideas to make this recipe your own:
- Fruit Swap: If peaches aren’t your thing, feel free to swap them out for another fruit. Mangoes or pineapples would work wonderfully in this smoothie and give it a tropical twist.
- Milks: While we love using JOI Almond or Cashew Milk Concentrate, you can experiment with any other JOI! JOI Oat Milk Concentrate, oat creamer, hemp or coconut all work.
- Spice It Up: Want a bit more kick? Add a dash of cinnamon or cayenne pepper for an extra layer of flavor.
- Protein Boost: To make this smoothie a more substantial meal, consider adding a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder. It’s a great way to keep you full and energized throughout the day. Why not try JOI almond milk powder, with 10 g of protein per serving?
- Sweeter Please: If you prefer your smoothies on the sweeter side, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup would complement the flavors nicely.
