Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 large frozen banana
- 3 cups peaches, fresh or frozen, sliced
Dairy & Alternatives
- 1½ cups milk, regular or dairy free
- ½ cup Greek yogurt, vanilla, plain or peach-flavored
Sweeteners & Spices
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or as needed
- ¼ – ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Optional
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the frozen banana, sliced peaches, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, and optional vanilla protein powder into a high-powered blender.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If the smoothie is too thick or difficult to blend, add an extra splash of milk to assist blending.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor and best texture.
Notes
- Use frozen bananas to achieve the best cold and thick smoothie texture. To freeze bananas, cut ripe bananas into 2-3 inch pieces, freeze on a parchment-lined tray for about an hour, then store in a freezer-safe container to prevent clumping.
- For smoothies made with frozen peaches and bananas, adding an extra splash of milk may improve blending consistency.
- This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh. While leftovers can be frozen, refrigeration is not recommended as it may degrade flavor and texture.
- If your blender includes a tamper, use it to help blend frozen ingredients smoothly.
