What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1.5 cups frozen peach slices
- 0.5 whole ripe banana
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Add Frozen Peaches and Banana
Place the frozen peach slices and the banana into the blender. The frozen peaches provide a naturally cold and thick base that gives this smoothie its creamy dreamy texture.
Step 2: Add Milk and Yogurt
Pour the whole milk over the fruit, then spoon in the vanilla Greek yogurt. Add the vanilla extract and maple syrup on top.
Step 3: Blend Until Velvety
Blend on high speed for 60 to 75 seconds until the smoothie is completely velvety and smooth with no frozen chunks remaining.
Step 4: Taste and Adjust
Taste the smoothie and add a touch more maple syrup if needed. Pour into glasses immediately and serve with a fun paper straw for an extra special touch.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- whole milk → cashew milk for a naturally creamy dairy-free alternative
- vanilla Greek yogurt → regular vanilla yogurt for a lighter and thinner consistency
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using canned peaches in syrup which makes the smoothie overly sweet and changes the texture
- Forgetting to use frozen peaches and using fresh instead which creates a thin watery result
