Ingredients

The simple ingredients needed to make this peach banana smoothie include:

Peaches. It’s best if you use frozen peaches. You can buy already frozen fruit at the store. Or, you can freeze peaches when they’re in season.
Banana. Make sure you choose ripe bananas for the most natural sweetness. Unripe bananas tend to be a bit less sweet which means you’ll have to add in extra sweetener to compensate. It’s also better to use room temperature bananas so the ingredients can blend together more easily.
Milk. Regular, oat, soy, or another nut-based milk such as cashew or almond milk can all be used.
Yogurt. Choose a plain unsweetened yogurt. Regular, goat’s milk, Greek, or any nut or pant-based yogurt will work.
Sweetener. This is optional. Test the smoothie after making it, then add it in if you would like it sweeter. Peaches and bananas are normally pretty sweet so you may not need any additional sweetener.

How to Make Peach Banana Smoothie

These are the easy steps for making a healthy peach smoothie.

Combine Ingredients

The key to making the absolute most creamy smoothies is power.

You need a blender capable of completely blending up all of the ingredients until all the chunks are gone.

Here is a list of the best blenders for making fruit smoothies:

Nutribullet – Great for personal-sized smoothies. Use the large cup in order to fit all of the ingredients. Make sure to not go over the max fill line.
- Ninja Blender is also another great option!
Vitamix – It’s like a traditional blender but WAY more powerful. You get a perfect silky smooth drink every time! It is a bit more expensive though, so only go this route if you make smoothies, soups, or sauces pretty often.
Food Processor – This is sort of a last resort, but it will work in a pinch if you don’t have a blender.

Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor. Be sure you have enough space for all the fruit along with the yogurt and milk.

For the best consistency and ease of blending, place the banana and yogurt closer to the blade and the frozen peaches further from the blade.

All the ingredients are placed in a high speed blender.

Blend it Up

Blend for 1-2 minutes. If the blades aren’t catching everything, you might need to add a little bit more milk.

Keep running the blender until you get the perfect smooth and creamy texture.
