Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium banana, frozen – Adds natural sweetness and creaminess.
- 1 cup frozen peach slices – Provides a burst of fruity flavor and helps thicken the smoothie.
- ¾ cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy) – Creates the base and adjusts consistency.
- ¼ cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt – Boosts protein content and adds a rich, tangy flavor.
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional) – Enhances sweetness if desired.
- 1 cup ice cubes (optional) – For an extra cold and thick texture.
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Peel and slice the banana if using fresh.
- Measure out the frozen peaches, milk, yogurt, and sweetener (if using).
- Add Ingredients to Blender:
- Place the milk, Greek yogurt, banana, peaches, and honey (if using) into the blender in the order listed. Adding liquids first makes blending easier.
- Blend Until Smooth:
- Blend on high speed for about 1 minute, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Adjust Consistency:
- If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk.
- If it’s too thin, toss in a few more ice cubes or frozen fruit chunks and blend again.
- Serve Immediately:
- Pour the smoothie into a tall glass and enjoy right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Freeze Your Fruit: Using frozen bananas and peaches eliminates the need for ice and gives the smoothie a thicker, frostier texture.
- Use Room-Temperature Yogurt: Cold yogurt can make blending harder; let it sit out briefly before use.
- Sweeten Sparingly: Taste before adding honey or maple syrup ripe bananas and peaches may already provide enough sweetness.
- Layer Flavors: Add ingredients in the order listed (liquids first) to help the blender run smoothly.
- Experiment with Milk Choices: Try different types of milk, like coconut or almond, to change the flavor profile slightly.
