Peach Smoothie Recipe: Ingredients & Substitutions

• Milk. I suggest whole milk for the creamiest version, but any milk works well. 2%, almond milk, coconut milk, etc.
• Greek yogurt. I suggest a full-fat yogurt such as a plain or vanilla Greek yogurt, or a plain or vanilla Icelandic yogurt.
• Honey. maple syrup is a good substitute for honey.
• Vanilla extract. you can use vanilla bean paste or omit if desired. However, if you’re going for a peaches and cream flavor definitely use vanilla!
• Frozen Peaches. you can use fresh summer peaches that have been sliced and frozen (preference), or store-bought frozen peaches. I suggest making sure they’re frozen to your smoothie is thick and cold like a milkshake!
• Frozen Banana. Adding frozen banana to smoothies is my favorite way to sweeten a recipe as well as give the smoothie a creamy texture. Using frozen banana means that you don’t need to add ice to make it thick and cold.
• Cinnamon. I love the flavor of cinnamon in this smoothie, if desired you can omit it.

How to Make a Peach Smoothie

Let’s discuss how to make this banana peach smoothie recipe, and don’t forget to watch the video.

Use a Vitamix Blender

For thick & creamy smoothies I recommend using a Vitamix blender. If you’ve been around my blog for a while then you know my love for my blender runs deep. Check out this Vitamix Buying Guide to learn why I chose Vitamix 10+ years ago and never looked back! 

Add Ingredients to Blending Container

Begin by adding all the ingredients in the order listed in the peach smoothie recipe to the container of a Vitamix blender (or another high-powered blender).

It’s important to add the milk first, then add the frozen fruit, for easy blending. I like to add the honey on top of the frozen fruit to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the blending container.

Peach Smoothie Recipe: Optional Add-Ins

If you’d like to add some nutrition boosters to this banana peach smoothie, here are some suggestions that you can add before you begin blending:

• More fruit. Add some oranges, strawberries, raspberries, etc. to change up the flavor if you’d like.
• Greens. Adding 1 cup of spinach or power greens, won’t effect the taste or texture of this smoothie at all. It will change the color, but it’ll taste great and have a bonus serving of veggies!
• Protein powder. Adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder will both enhance the flavor and deliver a healthy dose of protein
• Chia seeds.  a nutritional powerhouse that can be added to this peach smoothie. I recommend adding 1-2 TBS and drinking the smoothie immediately. 
• Nut butter. some cashew butter or almond butter (or homemade vanilla almond butter) would taste amazing in this recipe.

Blend

Next, secure the lid and blend the peach smoothie until it’s smooth and uniform throughout. Use the tamper to press the ingredients to the blades (if using a Vitamix).

You may need to pause, scrape down the sides and continue blending to ensure your smoothie is thick and frozen and avoid over-blending. The mixture should be smooth but thick.

Serve

Once blended, pour the peach smoothie into 2-4 glasses and serve immediately.

Store/Freeze

You can store this banana peach smoothie in a glass jar with a lid for up to 1 day in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
