How to Make the Recipe

Making this Peach Banana Smoothie is as easy as 1-2-3! Here’s how:

1. Add ingredients to your blender. Start with the milk, followed by the frozen banana chunks, peeled and sliced peaches, vanilla, cinnamon, and Greek yogurt.
2. Blend until smooth. Don’t over-blend! Just process until everything is creamy and combined. I love using the smoothie button on my blender for this.
3. Taste and adjust. If you’d like it sweeter, feel free to add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, though I find it sweet enough from the fruit alone.
4. Pour and enjoy! This smoothie is best served fresh while it’s extra cold and creamy.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your smoothie turns out perfectly every time:

• Use overripe bananas for the best sweetness and creaminess.
• Freeze your bananas ahead of time to create a thicker texture.
• Feel free to swap out the peach for other fruits like mango or berries for a different flavor.
• If you want to boost the nutrition, consider adding a handful of spinach or kale – you won’t even taste it!
• For a fun twist, try adding a scoop of protein powder or nut butter for an extra energy boost.

How to Serve

This Peach Banana Smoothie is incredibly versatile! Here are some serving suggestions:

• Serve it in a tall glass with a colorful straw for a fun breakfast treat.
• Top with a sprinkle of granola or nuts for added crunch.
• Pair it with a slice of whole-grain toast or a muffin for a complete meal.
• Enjoy it as a post-workout snack to refuel your body.
• For a special occasion, serve it in a fancy glass with a slice of peach on the rim!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you’re like me and love to plan ahead, you’ll be happy to know that this smoothie can be made in advance! Here are some tips:

• Prepare the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. Just blend in the morning!
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good shake before enjoying.
• For longer storage, you can freeze the smoothie in ice cube trays and blend them later for a quick treat.
