What you will need
This recipe uses 6 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1.5 cups frozen peach slices
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1 cup vanilla yogurt
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon honey
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Peaches
Use frozen peach slices straight from the freezer for the best texture. If using fresh peaches, peel them, remove the pit, slice, and add a handful of ice cubes to the recipe instead.
Step 2: Combine All Ingredients
Add the frozen peaches, banana, vanilla yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and honey to the blender. Make sure the liquid goes in first to help the blades move efficiently.
Step 3: Blend Until Silky Smooth
Blend on high speed for 60 to 75 seconds until the smoothie is completely smooth, pale golden in color, and has a thick creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Serve Immediately
Pour into chilled glasses right away for the best flavor and texture. A small sprinkle of cinnamon on top adds a lovely warm aroma that makes this kid friendly smoothie even more inviting.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- vanilla yogurt → plain yogurt plus an extra half teaspoon of vanilla extract to control sugar content
- whole milk → oat milk for a dairy free version that still provides a creamy texture
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Using canned peaches in syrup which adds too much sugar and makes the smoothie overly sweet and thin in texture
- Skipping the vanilla extract which is the key ingredient that gives this smoothie its special dessert-like flavor profile
