Ingredients for Recipe

Before we get to the step-by-step instructions, a few notes about the ingredients and useful substitutions:

Ripe bananas: Provide natural sweetness and create a smooth, creamy texture. Frozen bananas will give you an even thicker consistency without watering down the flavor.
Peaches: You can use either fresh peaches when they're in season or frozen peaches for convenience year-round.
Greek yogurt: Adds protein and creates a rich, creamy texture. I recommend vanilla Greek yogurt for extra flavor, but plain works great too if you want to reduce sugar. For a dairy-free version, coconut yogurt or any plant-based yogurt makes an excellent substitute.
Almond milk: Provides the perfect consistency without overwhelming the fruit flavors. You can easily substitute with oat milk or coconut milk based on your preference.
Honey: Just a touch enhances the natural sweetness of the fruits. Maple syrup or agave make great alternatives.

How To Make the Perfect Peach Banana Smoothie

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Use ripe bananas (with some brown spots) and juicy, fragrant peaches for the best flavor and texture. If using fresh peaches, you'll want to add ice cubes for that perfect chilled consistency. You can skip the ice with frozen fruit as it will already create that thick, frosty texture.

Step 2: Blend Everything

Add the banana slices, peaches, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and honey to your blender. If using fresh fruit, add about 1 cup of ice cubes as well.

Blend on high speed until everything is completely smooth and creamy. This usually takes about 30-60 seconds in a high-speed blender.

Step 3: Adjust to Your Preference

Take a quick taste and adjust as needed. Want it sweeter? Add a bit more honey. Too thick? Add a splash more almond milk. Not cold enough? Throw in a few ice cubes and blend again briefly.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Pour your peach banana smoothie into glasses and garnish with a fresh peach slice, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately!

Can I make peach banana smoothies ahead of time?

While smoothies are best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time. In freezer bags, measure and freeze pre-portioned smoothie packs with banana slices and peach chunks. When ready to blend, add your liquid, yogurt, and sweetener! If you've already blended, store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in an airtight container, though separation may occur (just shake before drinking).

How can I make this smoothie dairy-free?

Substitute Greek yogurt with your favorite plant-based yogurt alternatives like coconut yogurt, almond yogurt, or soy yogurt.

Can I use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen?

Yes! Drain the syrup (unless you want the extra sweetness) and use about 1½ cups of drained canned peaches. Since they're not frozen, you'll want to add extra ice cubes for a thick, frosty consistency.
