Peach Banana Smoothie

This Banana Peach Smoothie recipe makes a perfect healthy snack, easy meal on the go, or a simple sweet treat. Frozen peaches, bananas, greek yogurt, milk, and honey are blended together for a creamy, dreamy hunger fix that is not only healthy but delicious and easy too! 

Smoothies are always a family favorite in our house! They are a kid-friendly, quick breakfast, easy snack, or even as dessert!

I love making them because they are always full of healthy ingredients and clean-up is a breeze. My go-to smoothie recipe is this tart cherry smoothie or sometimes I swap it out for a strawberry banana.

If you prefer to eat your smoothie with a spoon, you might also like to try a Cranberry Smoothie Bowl or Pumpkin Smoothie Bowl.

But today, since it is peach season here on the fresh coast, I knew we had to come up with a new favorite flavor to celebrate!

What's in a Peach and Banana Smoothie?

Making smoothies is so easy! I often have my kids help and my older children love to make them on their own. For this smoothie, you will need:

• Frozen peaches - you can use fresh if you have them, but you may need to add ice.
• Banana - Use fresh or frozen but I love frozen because they give the smoothie a thicker texture, almost like a milkshake.
• Greek yogurt - You can use plain or flavored, or regular yogurt if that's what you have on hand. Greek yogurt is thicker and healthier, so it's preferred. My favorite is to make it with vanilla yogurt or peach yogurt. Plain yogurt is best if you want a smoothie that's lower in sugar.
• Honey - Just for a little added sweetness.
• About ½ cup of liquid - Water, milk or juice. All three work just fine. However, milk makes a creamier smoothie than water or juice and the main drawback of using fruit juice is it adds more sugar to your smoothie.

Substitutions

Banana Peach Smoothie without Yogurt: If you don't care for greek yogurt, or just don't have any in the house you can still make this recipe swap it with regular yogurt. Or if you want to make it vegan or have a dairy sensitivity you can use your favorite non-dairy yogurt.

Sweetener: You can swap out the honey with any liquid sweetener such as maple syrup, agave syrup, or for a low sugar option, monk fruit sweetener.

Variations

Want to jazz up your healthy peach banana smoothie making it even better! Here are some flavors that go well with peaches. When adding fruit, reduce the amount of peaches added to adjust for the additional fruit and leave the banana the same.

• Blueberry
• Strawberry
• Mango
• Spinach or Kale
• Pineapple
• Raspberry

How to Make a Peach Banana Smoothie

Making smoothies takes only one step and a couple of minutes to make!

Start with placing everything in the blender and pulse, scraping the sides often until everything is blended.

Once everything gets going, blend on medium speed until it's completely smooth.

Refrigerator storage: If you want to enjoy it within 24 hours, you can keep it in the fridge and give it a quick stir before serving. Please note, the frozen ingredients will melt and the consistency may change but it will still be delicious!

Serving Suggestions

This Banana Peach Smoothie is loaded with all the protein and nutrients you need for it to be a meal on its own, but it's also great to serve with appetizers or enjoy with a dessert.

Enjoy it for breakfast and serve it with this adorable Pancake Cereal Recipe or a plate of healthy Oat Flour Pancakes.

As a snack, it would taste wonderful with these healthy and crispy Watermelon Radish Chips. Or, if you want to indulge, try them with our Fried Pickles.

For a dessert, it would pair very well with Strawberry Cheesecake Cookies or these tart Fresh Cranberry Bars.

Expert Tips and FAQS

For an extra special touch on your banana peach smoothie, add a slice of fresh peach and a sprig of mint to the glass or top of the smoothie.

For a thicker smoothie, use frozen fruit and add less milk or water.

If you prefer your smoothie to be a bit thinner, add additional milk or water and adjust the amount of frozen fruit.

Use frozen banana whenever possible for a perfectly thick, creamy smoothie that's almost like a banana shake!

For best results, add liquid to your blender first, followed by the fruit and yogurt.
