Dreamy Banana Peach Smoothies

Chilled creamy banana peach blends are my top pick for getting going on a rushed morning or recharging after some exercise. It takes just five basic things and no more than five minutes to throw together a bright and fruity drink that feels a little like dessert but actually fills you up. Pour it into a special cup for breakfast or just drink it straight from the blender for an afternoon boost—either way, you get fresh fruit flavor that honestly keeps you full and happy.

I first whipped up one of these last year when all my peaches ripened at once. Now I keep frozen peaches on hand so I can make this blend whenever the craving hits, no matter the season.

Luscious Ingredients

• Frozen peaches: Sweet, tangy, and perfect for cooling things down. I try to stash extras from summer or just grab a frozen bag from the store.
• Banana: Adds creaminess along with a sweet kick and loads of potassium. The more spots on your banana, the better.
• Maple syrup or honey: Drizzle in either for a little extra sweetness. Maple syrup is my favorite for a hint of caramel, but honey is great too.
• Plain Greek yogurt: Makes the mix thicker and gives a little tang. I always go for the full-fat, unsweetened kind so I control the sugar.
• Milk or your favorite milk alternative: Use whole milk for richness if you like, but any milk gets the job done and keeps the blend smooth.

Simple Step-by-Step

Serve It Up:

Pour out your smooth blend into two cold glasses and sip right away for the best taste. Sometimes I add a sprinkle of yogurt or a fresh peach wedge on top for a little extra flair.

Tweak to Your Taste:

Take a taste and see what you think. Not sweet enough? Add another drizzle of honey or maple syrup. Too thick? Mix in a bit more milk until it’s juuuust right to drink.

Blend It Smooth:

Start blending slowly then crank it up until the drink turns totally creamy. Give the sides a scrape if you see chunks. After about half a minute, you should have a thick, smooth blend with no peach or banana bits left.

Stack Up Ingredients in Blender:

Milk goes in first, then scoop in yogurt, break up your banana and drop it in, toss in the frozen peaches, and finish with your maple syrup or honey. This way, your blades won’t get stuck and everything mixes fast.

Get Everything Ready:

Peel your banana and split it up, measure out your milk, peaches, yogurt, and sweetener, and set everything close by so you can toss it all in quickly.

Every time I take that first cool, peachy sip, I think of mornings in late summer when my kids help toss fruit into the blender. I always say the frozen peaches make these super thick and creamy—they’re definitely my favorite part.

Best Ways To Store

This banana peach blend tastes best if you drink it right after mixing, but you can keep it in the fridge for about a day in a good, sealed container. Shake well if anything separates before pouring. For make-ahead, fill a freezer bag with your fruit and yogurt, then just add milk and a little sweetener when you’re ready to blend it up later on.

Easy Ingredient Swaps

Use oat, almond, or coconut milk instead of regular milk to go dairy free. Plant-based yogurt or plain yogurt are both fine if you want a different texture. Swap a handful of frozen mango or berries for some of the peaches for a new twist. Skip sweetener if your fruit is super ripe, or just use whichever you like for a hint of sugar.

How To Serve

These shakes stand alone for a fast breakfast or snack. Level things up by serving with a slice of banana bread or a piece of hearty toast. Kids think it’s awesome when you freeze them in popsicle molds for sunny days. If you want to make breakfast special, just toss some fresh peach slices and granola on top.

Common Recipe Questions

→ Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

Definitely! Just remember frozen peaches make the smoothie thick and cold. If you use fresh ones, toss in some ice cubes for more chill.

→ Is it possible to make this dairy-free?

You sure can. Swap dairy milk for oat, almond, or soy milk. Grab non-dairy yogurt as well if you want.

→ Can I skip the sweetener?

If your fruit is extra ripe and sugary, just skip the honey or maple syrup if you like.

→ How do I store leftovers?

You’ll get the best texture drinking right away. But keep the rest chilled in a jar for a day and give it a good shake before finishing.

→ What protein options suit this drink?

Craving more protein? Mix in extra Greek yogurt or a scoop of your favorite vanilla or plain powder.

→ Can I prepare this ahead?

Sure! Pre-portion your fruit and freeze it, then when you’re thirsty, blend it with cold yogurt and milk.
