Description
A refreshing, nutrient-packed peach smoothie that’s perfect for breakfast, post-workout recovery, or a midday treat. This creamy blend of peaches, yogurt, and milk is both delicious and loaded with health benefits.
Ingredients
- 2 fresh peaches (or 1 ½ cups frozen), peeled and sliced
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ½ cup (120 g) Greek yogurt (or any yogurt of choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ½ cup (120 ml) ice cubes (if using fresh peaches)
Instructions
- Add the sliced peaches to a blender. If using frozen peaches, there’s no need to add ice.
- Pour in the milk and Greek yogurt. This adds creaminess and a protein boost.
- Drizzle in honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness, and add vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Blend everything on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Pour into a glass, garnish with a peach slice, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
-
Use Frozen Peaches for Extra Creaminess – If you want a thicker, frostier smoothie, use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones. This eliminates the need for ice and keeps your smoothie cold without watering it down.
-
Adjust Sweetness Naturally – If your peaches are naturally sweet, you may not need honey or maple syrup. Taste your smoothie before adding sweeteners and adjust accordingly.
-
Boost Nutrition with Add-Ins – For extra protein, add a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of nut butter. To enhance fiber and omega-3s, toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
