Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups chopped very ripe nectarines (with or without peel)
- ½ cup coconut water (or orange juice)
- ½ cup fresh orange juice

- Blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately while chilled and frothy.
Notes
- You can leave the nectarine peel on—modern blenders liquefy it into a natural speckled texture. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Adjust sweetness by reducing honey if nectarines are very ripe.
- Sub any liquid: swap coconut water for orange juice or plain water if preferred.
- For an extra boost, add a scoop of yogurt or protein powder.
- Serve with a slice of nectarine on the rim for a pretty garnish.
