Equipment
- Blender
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Glasses for serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches (sliced)
- 1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (or plant-based alternative)
- ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, if using fresh peaches)
Instructions
- Add peaches, yogurt, milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract to the blender.
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
- If smoothie is too thick, add more milk and blend again.
- If using fresh peaches and want a colder smoothie, add a few ice cubes and blend until crushed.
- Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use frozen peaches for a naturally chilled smoothie without needing ice.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup, or omit for a naturally sweet smoothie.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute yogurt and milk with plant-based alternatives like almond or coconut milk and coconut yogurt.
- To boost protein, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a spoonful of nut butter.
- For extra fiber and nutrients, toss in a handful of spinach or kale—flavor remains mild.
- If smoothie is too thick, add additional milk a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
- Fresh peaches should be ripe and sweet for best flavor; if not, increase sweetener slightly.
- Smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours; shake or stir before drinking.
