Hi. It's me. The anti-smoothie convert bringing you another smoothie that absolutely anyone would adore. These Banana and Peach Smoothies are my best smoothie yet! Made with oh so ripe bananas and fresh or frozen peaches, I added thick Greek yogurt and a splash of milk to make the creamiest, dreamiest peach smoothie ever!

Yeah, I was never a big smoothie gal, never caught me out at Jamba Juice, but this combination of flavors, along with a bit of vanilla, a drizzle of honey, and a pinch of cinnamon has me rethinking my whole anti-smoothie agenda. It's like a high protein peach milkshake and I'm here for it! 

Ingredients & Substitutions

I use simple, basic ingredients in this easy peach smoothie recipe, and I'll tell you all about them and how you can change them around if you don't have everything.

• Banana - This is one of those times that I urge you to use the most ripe fresh banana you can find. The banana in the picture is a stunt banana. It is not ripe enough. It needs to be all over brown ripe. Then cut that banana up and put it into the freezer. You'll thank me later. (p.s. yellow or green banana = starchy weird smoothie mouth 😖)
• Peaches - I want you to find the most ripe peaches you can so we can taste all their natural sweetness. You don't need to peel them. We're using a high speed blender and it's going to pulverize everything. Not fresh peach, season? Frozen peaches have great peach flavor and will work wonderfully. Use 200 to 300 grams.
• Milk - I used whole milk, but please feel free to use whatever milk product you prefer in your creamy smoothie. Almond milk, oat milk, coconut milk, whatever kind of milk you like. You can even use orange juice or pineapple juice - any fruit juice you prefer. Even water, but that's boring. We're not boring.
• Yogurt - If you want to use vanilla yogurt, that would be delightful. If you want to use a non-dairy yogurt, not a problem.
• Vanilla - I used vanilla extract, for even more flavor, but you could also use vanilla protein powder if you want to also add protein to your peach yogurt smoothie.
• Honey - I added a tablespoon to this batch for a touch of sweetness, but you might need up to 2 tablespoons. If you don't like honey, you can substitute with your favorite sweetener. You can use regular sugar, Stevia, maple syrup, monkfruit sweetener, or even agave. You can use whatever you like to use to make things sweet.
• Cinnamon - Just a pinch of ground cinnamon. It won't taste like a cinnamon smoothie or peach cobbler, but when I didn't use it, I noticed. If you don't have cinnamon, a pinch of cardamom, or even apple pie spice would do. Or skip it. I'm not in your kitchen.

Variations

You can use any fruit that you like in your smoothie. Any fruit smoothies get me going in the morning, but after peaches, fresh or frozen, but my second favorite is strawberries. I love fresh, but a frozen strawberry smoothie is so refreshing in the middle of winter. Add a drop of vanilla syrup and you'll feel like you're sipping on Summer!

Blenders

We aren't trying to blend anything too difficult here, so an affordable starter blender, like the Black and Decker blender I used to have, will work fine. I have since upgraded to a high-powered blender and I love how absolutely smooth my smoothie is, but you probably aren't as picky as me 🤪

You can also make an individual smoothie using a personal sized or portable blender. If you choose to do that you'll want to decrease this recipe into half or fourths, depending on its size, and make sure to break up your ingredients into smaller bits.

Instructions

I am probably breaking this creamy peach smoothie into too many steps, but to be honest the pictures were just so pretty and I wanted to show them off. Indulge me and then make a smoothie to say cheers!

Step 3: Add milk and yogurt to the bottom of your blender. Add the fruit and your flavorings; vanilla, honey, and cinnamon. If using both fresh bananas and fresh peaches, add ½ cup of ice.

Step 4: Blend on high, or the smoothie setting, for about 30 seconds. Use a long handled spoon or other utensil to get to the bottom and stir, then blend another 30 seconds.

Step 5: Pour into the cutest glass you have. Set the mood.

Step 6: Garnish with another dollop of yogurt (or whipped cream!) and peach slices.

Pop in a straw and enjoy your delicious Peach Banana Smoothie.
