Why You'll Keep Making This
This smoothie is a delicious way to enjoy creamy coconut, sweet banana, and juicy peach all in one glass. It’s naturally sweet, packed with vitamins, and completely plant-based, making it a refreshing and healthy choice any time of day.
Directions
Tos the peaches, bananas, lemon verbena, coconut milk, and lime juice into your blender. Blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth. If the smoothie feels too thick, just splash in a little water and blend again until it’s just how you like it. Grab a couple of tall glasses and fill them with ice cubes. Pour the smoothie over the ice, and enjoy right away while it’s fresh and chilled.

Storing Food Safely
