Recipe by John Taylor of Domus Cafe, Ottawa
A photo of this drink in a magazine blew me away and I needed to try it. Peaches, yogurt, raspberries and a kick makes this a delicious start to a weekend morning.
Makes: 2
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups frozen peaches, sliced and slightly thawed
3/4 cup Greek yogurt, plain
1/2 cup milk
2 oz Peach Schnapps *
1 tablespoon liquid honey
1 oz Framboise (raspberry liquor)*
4 raspberries
4 mint leaves
Directions:
1) Combine peaches, yogurt, milk, peach schnapps and honey in a blender. Add a little more milk if the mixture seems too thick.
2) Divide smoothie between two 12 oz glasses; drizzle Framboise into each glass, dividing evenly (Framboise will sink slowly to the bottom of the glass).
3) Garnish with raspberries and mint leaves. Serve at once.
* Note: You can omit the alcohol in the smoothie by replacing the peach schnapps with pineapple juice or more milk. Raspberry syrup or a raspberry puree can replace the Framboise.
I like that - "a great start to a WEEKEND morning"! That is a stunning photograph and YAY a smoothie without bananas! Finally!

ReplyDeleteWhat about peach nectar to replace the alcohol? (Raspberry nectar would get closer to your recipe, but that I've never seen.)
ReplyDeleteDawnielle: 'Mamma Smoothie', too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteHungry: I find peach nectar too sweet for me. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out.
