A quick and refreshing peach smoothie recipe combining frozen peaches, banana, milk, and Greek yogurt for a creamy, nutritious drink perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 2 cups frozen peaches (10 ounces, thawed for 5 minutes)
  • 1 medium banana (cut into 1-inch chunks)

Dairy

  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt

Optional Additions

  • 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon grated lime zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Allow frozen peaches to thaw for 5 minutes to soften slightly, and cut the banana into 1-inch chunks to facilitate blending.
  2. Layer Ingredients in Blender: Place all ingredients into a blender. Arrange softer ingredients like banana, milk, and Greek yogurt closer to the blade and frozen peaches further from the blade to ensure smooth blending.
  3. Blend Smoothly: Blend the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into glasses, garnish with diced peaches and a sprinkle of additional lime zest if desired, and serve immediately with a straw.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding or omitting the sweetener based on your preference.
  • Adding lime zest enhances the flavor with a fresh citrus note but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • Consume immediately for the best texture and flavor.
