Notes
Using frozen fruit is the key to a thick, creamy smoothie. I like to slice overripe bananas, wrap them individually, and then stash them in the freezer to grab for smoothies whenever we need them.
You can start with fresh peaches (and slice them and freeze them in 1/2-cup portions), you can freeze canned peaches (just drain them first), or you can purchase a bag of unsweetened frozen peaches in the freezer section at the grocery store.
Use orange juice instead of milk for a bright, fresh burst of citrus flavor.
We use vanilla flavored or peach flavored Greek-style yogurt, but you can substitute with plain Greek yogurt to reduce the amount of sugar in the smoothie. If you're using plain yogurt, I suggest adding a dash of vanilla extract for flavor, as well as a bit of honey or other sweetener of choice (if desired).
I use 2% milk in the smoothies because that's what my boys prefer; however, you can substitute with any variety of milk or non-dairy milk alternative (such as almond milk).
Make a Green Peach Smoothie by adding a handful of baby spinach leaves to the blender. It won't change the taste of the smoothie, but it will add some great nutrients!
For a dessert treat, turn this recipe into a Peach Milkshake. Instead of the yogurt, use vanilla or peach ice cream!
