Why You Will Love This Banana Peach Smoothie Recipe
- Refreshing yet filling. The peaches keep the flavor light and summery, while Greek yogurt and an optional scoop of protein powder add staying power so it doubles as a mini-meal.
- Ready in about 5 minutes. Toss the ingredients in a blender, pulse until smooth, and it’s ready—fast and nutritious.
- Easy to customize. Use any milk you prefer, swap in nondairy yogurt, add greens, seeds, or other boosters to match your taste and dietary needs.
- Kid approved. Thick, creamy, and fruity—the flavors are mild and familiar, so this one tends to be a hit with children.
Ingredients Notes
See the recipe card below for full measurements. Notes on key ingredients:
- Banana: Use frozen banana for the best texture and chill. Slice ripe bananas and freeze them in chunks so they blend easily. If you don’t have frozen banana, add a few ice cubes to chill and thicken the smoothie.
- Peaches: Fresh or frozen peaches work well—frozen keeps the drink cold and thick. If you freeze your own peaches, you can leave the peel on when using fresh fruit.
- Milk: Any milk works—dairy or plant-based (whole milk, skim, almond, oat, soy). Choose what you enjoy or have on hand.
- Yogurt: Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein. Vanilla Greek yogurt pairs nicely, but plain or nondairy yogurt (such as coconut yogurt) are fine alternatives.
- Maple syrup: Optional sweetener—use maple syrup, honey, or a date to taste.
- Cinnamon: A small pinch brings a warm, cozy note reminiscent of peach cobbler. Use sparingly for balance.
- Protein powder: Optional—vanilla protein powder or unflavored collagen can boost protein. Use one you like the taste of so it complements the smoothie.
Recipe variations/Add-ins
Customize this peach banana smoothie with any of the following additions:
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Ground flaxseed or chia seeds
- Leafy greens like spinach or kale (this will change the color)
- Fresh ginger for a bright, spicy note
- Avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats
- Cottage cheese for added protein and creaminess
- Bee pollen or a bit of local honey (for those without pollen allergies)
- Other fruit: blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
How To Make It
Step 1: Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender.
Step 2: Blend until smooth. Add a splash more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust sweetness, then serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
- Freeze bananas for the best texture. Cut ripe bananas into 2–3 inch pieces and freeze them on a parchment-lined sheet for about an hour before transferring to a bag. This prevents large clumps and makes blending easier.
- Drink fresh for best flavor. The smoothie tastes best right after blending. If you have leftovers, freeze them and thaw before serving rather than refrigerating for long periods.
- If the blender struggles, add liquid. When working with frozen peaches and bananas, a small extra splash of milk helps the blades move. Use a tamper if your blender includes one.
