🍑 Ingredient Notes + Substitutions
Basic ingredients are all that you need to make this easy smoothie recipe - all of which are easily found at your local grocery store.
- Peaches: Use either fresh or frozen peaches. I find that peaches are frozen at peak ripeness, so they are always full of flavor. If using fresh peaches, ensure they are ripe and juicy.
- Banana: Adding a ripe banana gives the smoothie a creamy texture and natural sweetness. You can also use a frozen banana instead.
- Yogurt: I recommend using vanilla yogurt for the best flavor. You can use vanilla Greek yogurt to boost your protein intake or use plain yogurt to reduce the amount of sugar.
- Almond milk. Unsweetened almond milk adds a subtle nutty flavor. I have also made this smoothie with oat milk and coconut milk - and both are delicious!
- Honey: A touch of honey adds natural sweetness. If preferred, you can substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Optional Add-ins: You can add nut butter for a source of healthy fat and protein; leafy greens like spinach or kale; hemp hearts, chia seeds, or flax seeds for protein and fiber; or protein powder for extra protein.

🍹 How To Make A Peach Smoothie
Step 1. Blend the Ingredients: Add the banana slices, yogurt, almond milk, peaches, honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to a blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
Pro Tip: If using frozen fruit, you will not need to add ice. If using fresh peaches, add 1 cup of ice cubes and blend until smooth. Add ice after all ingredients are blended and add just enough until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 3. Taste and Adjust: Sample the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness to your liking. Add more honey for sweetness, more almond milk for a thinner consistency, or add some ice cubes for a thicker texture.
Step 4. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the peach smoothie into glasses and garnish with a fresh peach slice or a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. It's that simple! Enjoy!

❓ Recipe FAQs
Yes, if you're using frozen peaches, you can reduce or omit the ice altogether since the frozen fruit will help give the smoothie a slushy texture.
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your smoothie by adding your favorite fruits!
While peach smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Remember to shake it or stir before consuming, as separation may occur.
