Why it’s the best peach smoothie
Some peach smoothies are just good: but this one is great. What makes it so special?
- It’s got a silky smooth, creamy texture. Just the right thickness for sipping!
- It’s got pure, sweet flavor. It’s perfectly peachy with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon.
- It’s full of healthy ingredients: no peach yogurt, jam or nectar! There’s no added sweetener: just natural ingredients. And none of those specialty peach ingredients.
- It’s protein filled and packed with Vitamin C. This recipe uses Greek yogurt, so it’s got lots of good protein! And the Vitamin C is off the charts.
Ingredients for this peach smoothie
No specialty peach ingredients in this smoothie: it’s all good, healthy ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:
- Frozen peaches: It’s easy to find frozen peaches at the store, and you don’t have to worry about timing your smoothie when they’re perfectly ripe. That said: you can also make this smoothie with fresh peaches: if you do, use a frozen banana.
- Fresh banana: Banana helps with natural sweetness and creamy texture.
- Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt gives this recipe a protein boost and helpful probiotics.
- Ice: Adding ice gives just the right frothy texture to this smoothie.
- Milk: Milk brings creaminess to make it a sort of peaches and cream smoothie! You can also use non-dairy milk of your choosing.
- Maple syrup or honey: Just a touch of sweetener amps the flavor. Use your favorite natural sweetener!
- Vanilla & cinnamon: These flavors are key to bringing in the milkshake flavor! They’re key in peach pie, and take this peach smoothie over the top.
How to make it plant based / vegan!
You can make this peach smoothie plant-based or vegan by doing the following:
- Make a peach banana smoothie. Take out the Greek yogurt and add more banana! Blend 2 cups frozen peaches, 2 bananas (room temperature), ½ cup water and 8 ice cubes with the same amount of vanilla and cinnamon.
- Substitute non-dairy milk AND vegan yogurt or ½ banana for the yogurt. Oat milk is usually a little sweeter and creamier so we tend to like that a little more. You could also try coconut milk, which adds a nice coconut essence, or soy milk. Then for the yogurt, use vegan yogurt or another ½ banana.
More flavor variations!
Want to vary your peach smoothie? Here are a few more flavor ideas to mix in:
- Peach Coconut smoothie. Use coconut milk instead of standard milk to bring a coconut essence.
- Peach Mint or Peach Basil smoothie. Add a few fresh mint or basil leaves for an herbaceous spin.
- Peach Mango smoothie. Substitute 1 cup of the frozen peaches for 1 cup frozen mangos.
Can you store this peach smoothie?
Smoothies are best eaten immediately. This peach smoothie lasts 1 day refrigerated, stored in a sealed container or a mason jar with the lid on. It may separate, which is perfectly natural. Just shake it up and you’re good to go! After 1 day, it starts to lose flavor: so we don’t recommend storing for longer.
