Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (frozen for best texture)
- 1 cup sliced peaches (fresh or frozen)
- ¾ cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Handful of ice (optional, especially if using fresh fruit)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
- Freeze Fruits: Peel and slice your banana, then freeze it for at least two hours to ensure a creamy texture. Use frozen peaches, or freeze fresh peaches ahead of time to keep the smoothie chilled and thick.
- Combine Ingredients: In your blender, pour the milk and yogurt first to aid blending. Then add the frozen banana, sliced peaches, vanilla extract, and any optional sweeteners or ice you prefer.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high for 45 to 60 seconds until it becomes smooth and creamy. Pause to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed and blend again to mix thoroughly.
- Adjust Consistency: If the smoothie is too thick, add more milk to thin it out. If it’s too thin, add ice cubes or more frozen fruit for a thicker consistency.
- Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy right away while it’s cold and refreshing for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Freezing the banana and peaches ahead of time ensures a frosty and creamy smoothie without needing too much ice.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt with a dairy-free alternative to make the smoothie vegan.
- Adjust sweetness by adding honey or maple syrup according to your taste preferences.
- Milk can be any type you prefer including dairy, almond, oat, or soy.
- For a thinner smoothie, add more liquid; for a thicker smoothie, add more frozen fruit or ice.
