- Serve: Pour into glasses and garnish with a fresh peach slice or mint leaves if desired. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Fresh vs. Frozen Fruit:
- If using frozen peaches and/or frozen bananas, you can skip the ice cubes ,as your smoothie will already have a thick, frosty consistency.
- Add 1 cup of ice cubes to achieve that perfect smoothie texture if using fresh fruit.
Make It Your Own:
- For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- Make it dairy-free by substituting Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt or other plant-based alternatives.
- Add a handful of spinach for a nutrient boost (you won't taste it!).
- Include 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds for added fiber and omega-3s.
Storage Tips:
- This smoothie is best enjoyed immediately after blending.
- If needed, store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Separation is normal—shake or stir before drinking.
- For meal prep, freeze pre-portioned smoothie packs with the banana and peaches, then blend with fresh ingredients when ready to enjoy.
