Why You’ll Love This Smoothie Recipe
- It uses simple ingredients and takes less than 5 minutes to blend together. Perfect for when you’re in a rush and need something filling for the morning!
- This recipe uses frozen fruit, so you can make it all year round! The frozen fruit also makes this smoothie super thick and creamy.
- This banana peach smoothie recipe doesn’t use ice so you don’t have to worry that the smoothie will get watered down. The frozen peaches and bananas help the smoothie stay cold and thick.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- frozen peaches — I like frozen peaches as I don’t have to wait for peaches to be in season. Plus, you can skip peeling them.
- frozen bananas — you can freeze your own bananas or buy them frozen. This helps keeps the smoothie creamy, thick, and chilly. You can use fresh bananas as well. The more brown spots they have, the sweeter the bananas are.
- Greek yogurt — I use plain Greek yogurt, but you can use flavored Greek yogurt as well. I love Greek yogurt with vanilla beans. I recommend using Greek yogurt over regular yogurt as the Greek yogurt helps make this a high protein smoothie.
- maple syrup — to add some sweetness, I add a few drizzles of maple syrup. Make sure to use real maple syrup and not pancake syrup.
How to Make a Banana Peach Smoothie
- In a high-powered blender, combine all of the ingredients. Blend until creamy. Add more milk if you want a thinner consistency.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- This peach banana smoothie is quite thick so you’ll need a high-speed blender. I have a Vitamix.
- Add more milk for a thinner smoothie.
- It helps to have the milk at the bottom of the blender so the blades can move more freely. If your blender has a tamper, you’ll need it to push the smoothie around.
- Feel free to swap maple syrup for honey if that’s what you have on hand.
You can! Simply use dairy-free yogurt and almond/cashew/oat milk in place of dairy milk.
I don’t recommend making this smoothie more than a day ahead of time as the ingredients will start to separate.
Nuts and seeds, nut butter, avocado, and protein powder make for a great addition to the peach banana smoothie. You can even swap the milk for orange juice for a more tropical flavour.
You can! I also recommend peeling the peaches before blending depending on the type of peaches you have. I prefer not to ingest the fuzzy peel! You can freeze the fresh peaches or add a few ice cubes to make the smoothie thick and give it a chilly texture.
