Simple, fresh ingredients
Use ripe peaches for the best flavor: fresh or frozen work well. Basic ingredient list: 1–2 ripe peaches (pitted and sliced or 1 1/2 cups frozen peach chunks), 1 banana (fresh or frozen) for creaminess, 1/2–3/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt, 1/2 cup milk or plant milk, a squeeze of lemon juice, and 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup to taste. If you like a thicker texture, add more frozen fruit or a handful of ice.
Quick blending method for silky texture
Start by adding the liquid and yogurt to the blender, then the banana, peaches, and sweetener. Blend on high until fully smooth, stopping to scrape the sides once if needed. For a thinner drink, blend in an extra splash of milk; for a frosty shake, add 1/2 cup of ice and re-blend until smooth. This order prevents dry pockets and yields the creamiest result every time.
Adjust sweetness, acidity, and mouthfeel
Tweak flavor by balancing sweetener and lemon juice: a little acid brightens peach notes without making it tart. Swap banana for mango or more peaches for a lighter mouthfeel; for blending tips with banana, see energy boost with this banana spinach smoothie. For a dairy-free version, use coconut or oat milk and a dairy-free yogurt.
Flavor add-ins and pairings
Boost nutrition and flavor with a tablespoon of chia seeds, a pinch of cinnamon, or a few basil leaves for an herbal lift. Add a scoop of protein powder or nut butter if you want more staying power. This smoothie pairs well with light savory breakfasts—try serving it alongside eggs or a small pastry, or even a hearty side like Delicious German cabbage dumplings for a contrast of sweet and savory on brunch days.
Serving, storage, and make-ahead tips
Serve chilled in a tall glass and garnish with a thin peach slice or a sprinkle of granola for crunch. Refrigerate leftover smoothie in a sealed jar for up to 24 hours; shake well before drinking as separation is natural. For make-ahead convenience, portion blended smoothie into ice cube trays and pop cubes into a blender with a splash of milk later for a quick single-serve.
