Ingredients
Scale
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
Flavorings
- 1 tablespoon sweetener (optional)
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel and cut the banana into 1-inch chunks. Allow the frozen peaches to thaw slightly for about 5 minutes to make blending easier.
- Load Blender: Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender, placing the softer banana and dairy ingredients closer to the blade and the frozen peaches further away to ensure even blending.
- Blend: Blend the mixture for 1-2 minutes or until the smoothie is smooth, creamy, and evenly mixed.
- Serve: Pour into glasses and optionally garnish with diced peaches, extra lime zest, and add a straw for easy drinking.
Notes
- Use full-fat or low-fat milk depending on your preference for creaminess and calorie content.
- Substitute sweetener with honey, agave, or omit entirely for a natural fruit sweetness.
- For a vegan version, replace milk and Greek yogurt with coconut or almond milk and a plant-based yogurt alternative.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, use frozen banana chunks.
- Lime zest adds a fresh citrus note but can be omitted if unavailable.
