Peach Smoothie Recipe

Peach Smoothie

iamwinfred
This peach smoothie recipe is exactly what I reach for on hot mornings when I want something sweet, cold, and ready in under five minutes. It tastes like peach cobbler in a glass, but it is packed with protein and good stuff instead of butter and sugar.

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cutting board
  • Paring knife if using fresh peaches
  • Tall glasses or mason jars for serving
  • Rubber spatula for scraping down the blender

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups frozen peach slices or fresh peaches plus a handful of ice
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk or almond milk
  • 1-2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes or more if using fresh peaches

Optional Additions

  • rolled oats for a heartier version
  • vanilla protein powder for a heartier version
  • peach slices for garnish

Instructions
 

  • If using fresh peaches, wash them well and slice off the flesh from the pit. Cut the peach flesh into rough chunks. If using frozen peach slices, measure out 2 cups and set aside.
  • Pour the milk into the blender first, then add the Greek yogurt, peach slices, and honey. Starting with the smaller amount of honey if your peaches are very ripe and sweet.
  • Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon if using, and ice cubes on top of everything else.
  • Secure the lid tightly and blend on low for about 10 seconds to break up the ice and peaches. Increase to high speed and blend for 30 to 45 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides with a spatula if needed and blend again for 10 more seconds.
  • If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more milk and blend again. If too thin, add more ice or frozen peach slices and blend once more. Taste and add more honey if desired.
  • Pour into two glasses or mason jars immediately. Add a straw and garnish with extra peach slices if you like. Enjoy right away for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use fully ripe peaches if going the fresh route, underripe peaches taste bland once blended.
  • Freeze your own peach slices ahead of time during peak season for the best flavor year round.
  • Layer liquid ingredients on the bottom of the blender so the blades catch them first.
  • Do not skip the ice or extra frozen fruit, it is what gives the smoothie its thick, milkshake like texture.
  • Blend in short bursts rather than one long stretch to avoid overheating the motor.
  • For a vegan version, swap the Greek yogurt for a plant based yogurt and use almond, oat, or coconut milk. Maple syrup can replace the honey.
  • Add a handful of spinach for a green smoothie version, you will not taste it under the peach flavor.
  • Store leftover smoothie in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, shake or stir well before drinking.
  • Freeze portions in an ice cube tray, then blend the cubes with a splash of milk for a quick smoothie later.
  • Prep smoothie packs by portioning peaches and dry ingredients into bags and freezing them, just add yogurt and milk when ready to blend.
