What ingredients do you need?

• 150 g (about 1 cup) sliced fresh yellow peach, pit removed
• 75 g (about 1/2 cup) diced avocado, skin and pit removed
• 240 ml (1 cup) cold water

Choose a ripe peach for sweetness and a ripe avocado for a smooth texture. A ripe avocado should yield slightly to gentle pressure without feeling mushy. A fragrant peach that gives a little when pressed is easier to blend and generally more flavorful than a hard one.

The weights refer to the edible fruit, not the whole peach or avocado. For the closest match to the nutrition estimates below, weigh the fruit after removing the pits and avocado skin.

How do you make an avocado peach smoothie?

1. Rinse the peach and avocado under running water, rubbing their surfaces gently.
2. Slice the peach, remove the pit and measure 150 g (about 1 cup) of slices. Leave the skin on if you like.
3. Cut the avocado, remove the pit and scoop out 75 g (about 1/2 cup) of flesh.
4. Add the water, peach and avocado to a blender.
5. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
6. Pour into 2 glasses and serve.

For a thinner drink, blend in a little more water. For a thicker texture, use frozen peach slices in place of fresh ones; a blender may need a little extra liquid to process them. Neither adjustment requires straining the smoothie.

Drink the smoothie soon after making it for the best color and texture. If saving a portion, cover and refrigerate it promptly, then drink it within 24 hours. Separation can occur during storage; stir or shake the smoothie before serving. Discard it if it develops an off smell or becomes slimy.

Why might it support the body's normal detox processes?

The water in an avocado peach smoothie contributes to hydration, while the blended fruit adds fiber. Keeping the peach skin and pulp in the blender retains the edible parts of the fruit rather than leaving them behind in a strainer.

The liver and kidneys do most of the body's detoxification; the lungs and gut also help eliminate waste. This smoothie can be part of a varied diet, but it does not cleanse the blood or flush toxins from the body. There is no evidence that this particular blend has a special detox effect.

What swaps and variations work?

Use frozen peach

Replace the fresh peach with the same weight of unsweetened frozen peach. This makes the smoothie colder and thicker. Check the package if avoiding added sugar, and add water as needed to help the blender move.

Adjust the texture

For a lighter consistency, add water a little at a time after the first blend. For a thicker smoothie, use less water initially and add the rest only if needed. Changing the amount of water changes the concentration, but not the fruit's estimated nutrients.

Change the flavor

A small amount of vanilla or cinnamon can add flavor without changing the basic method. Taste the fruit first: a ripe peach may provide enough sweetness on its own. Any additions or substitutions can change the nutrition per serving.

If you are allergic to peach or avocado, avoid the ingredient that causes a reaction. Seek urgent medical help for trouble breathing or swelling of the tongue or throat after eating.

What is the nutrition per serving?

These are approximate values for one of 2 servings, calculated from the listed amounts of raw avocado and raw yellow peach. Water adds no calories to the estimate. Actual values vary with fruit size and ripeness, and substitutions can change the totals.

The sugars shown come from the fruit; the base recipe contains no added sugar. The smoothie is relatively low in protein, so consider that if you want it to be part of a more substantial meal.
