Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 large frozen banana
- 3 cups peaches, fresh or frozen, sliced
Dairy & Dairy Alternatives
- 1½ cups milk, regular or dairy-free
- ½ cup Greek yogurt, vanilla, plain, or peach-flavored
Sweeteners & Flavorings
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (or as needed)
- ¼ – ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather all ingredients including frozen banana, peaches, milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, and protein powder if using.
- Add to blender: Place all ingredients into a high-powered blender.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture thoroughly until smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick or difficult to blend, add an additional splash of milk to help incorporate the ingredients.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste the smoothie and add more maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again briefly to combine.
- Serve immediately: Pour into glasses and enjoy fresh for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen bananas for best results to achieve a cold and thick smoothie texture.
- To freeze bananas, cut ripe bananas into 2-3 inch chunks and flash freeze on a parchment-lined cookie sheet for about an hour before transferring to a freezer-safe container.
- This smoothie is best consumed immediately; leftovers can be frozen but refrigeration is not recommended as flavor and texture degrade quickly.
- If using frozen fruits and the blender struggles, add a splash of milk or use a tamper to aid blending.
