How to Make Peach Banana Smoothie?

This smoothie comes together in just minutes! All you need to do is add everything to your blender and let it do the work.

Step 1: Gather ingredients

Pull out all your ingredients and measuring tools. This makes the process go much faster when everything is ready.

Step 2: Add liquids first

Pour your milk and add the Greek yogurt to the blender first. This helps the blender work better.

Step 3: Add fruits

Put in the banana and frozen peaches. Adding them after the liquid makes blending easier.

Step 4: Add sweetener

Drizzle in the maple syrup or honey if you’re using it. You can skip this if your fruits are sweet enough.

Step 5: Blend until smooth

Turn on your blender and let it run for about 30-60 seconds until everything is smooth and creamy.

Step 6: Make peach puree

For extra peach flavor, blend a few extra peach slices separately and swirl into your smoothie for a pretty look.

Tips for the Best Peach Banana Smoothie

Use frozen fruit for a thicker, colder smoothie. You won’t need to add ice this way.
Add liquids to your blender first, then the soft ingredients, and frozen items last. This makes blending much easier.
For extra sweetness, use very ripe bananas with brown spots. They have more natural sugar and better flavor.
To make your smoothie more filling, add a tablespoon of chia seeds or a scoop of protein powder.
Don’t over-blend or your smoothie might get too warm. Just blend until everything is smooth.

Variations and Substitutions

Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and yogurt. Almond, oat, or coconut milk all work great in this recipe.
Add strawberries instead of banana for a different fruit combo. The strawberry peach combination is super refreshing.
Use orange juice for part of the liquid. This adds a tangy kick that works well with the sweet peaches.
Add spinach or kale for extra nutrition. You’ll hardly taste it with all the sweet fruit flavors.
Try cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice flavor. Just a pinch adds a nice depth to your smoothie.

Make-Ahead and Storage Tips

Prep ingredient bags with measured fruit in freezer bags. In the morning, just dump and blend with the liquid ingredients.
Store leftover smoothie in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It might separate, so just give it a good stir before drinking.
For longer storage, pour smoothie into ice cube trays and freeze. Blend the frozen cubes with a little milk when ready to drink.
If your smoothie gets too thick after sitting, add a splash of milk and stir well to thin it out.
You can also freeze the finished smoothie in a freezer-safe container and thaw for an hour before serving.

Common Questions

Yes, you can make it the night before and store it in the fridge. It might separate a bit, so just stir before drinking.

Use less milk, add more frozen fruit, or add a few ice cubes. You can also add half an avocado for creaminess without changing the flavor much.
