What each ingredient does
- Frozen peaches
- Provide bulk, sweetness and a thick, cold texture when blended.
- Frozen raspberries
- Add tart flavor, color and a fruity body to the blend.
- Plain yogurt
- Adds creaminess and a slight tang that smooths the texture.
- Soy milk
- Supplies the liquid that lets the frozen fruit blend smooth.
- Honey
- Adds sweetness that balances the tartness of the raspberries.
