Description
This healthy peach smoothie is naturally sweetened with ripe fruit and blended with creamy Greek yogurt for a refreshing and satisfying drink. It’s quick to make, protein-rich, and perfect for breakfast or a light snack.
Ingredients
- 2 medium peaches or nectarines, chopped (about 1½ to 2 cups, fresh or frozen)
- 1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat, low-fat, or nonfat)
- 1/3 cup milk of choice, plus more as needed
Instructions
- Chop the peaches and banana into chunks. Leave the peach peel on if desired.
- For a thicker and colder smoothie, freeze the fruit for 20–30 minutes before blending, or use frozen fruit.
- Add the peaches, banana, Greek yogurt, and milk to a blender.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a little more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and optionally add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately while cold and creamy.
Notes
- Frozen fruit creates a thicker smoothie without needing ice.
- Use dairy-free yogurt and milk for a lactose-free variation.
- Add chia seeds or oats for extra fiber and texture.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
- Vanilla Greek yogurt can add extra flavor without additional sweeteners.
