Ingredients & Substitution Notes
- Peaches: You can either buy fresh ripe peaches and freeze them yourself which is super easy but a bit more time-consuming. To save some time, you could buy frozen sliced peaches. Make sure that they are ripe though or your smoothie won't be that sweet.
- Banana: The banana add some texture as well as sweetness to the smoothie. If you can't have bananas, you could use (Medjool) dates instead.
- Vanilla Greek Yogurt: Feel free to use your yogurt of choice. For a vegan peach smoothie, use vanilla soy yogurt or coconut yogurt. If you don't need this smoothie to be dairy-free, you could also use regular vanilla yogurt. Make sure that it's unsweetened or only lightly sweetened.
- Milk of Choice: Any unsweetened milk of choice such as soy milk, almond milk or oat milk. Regular dairy-milk also works. You could also try using light coconut milk to add some coconut flavors. This will result in a smoothie higher in saturated fat and calories though. Feel free to choose your favorite kind of milk.

How to Make a Frozen Peach Smoothie with Yogurt
This healthy smoothie comes together in no time! It involves 2 simple steps (only 1 if you buy frozen peaches).
STEP 1: Freeze fresh peaches. Deseed fresh peaches, then cut them into 4-5 wedges.
Put them into a freezer-friendly jar and freeze overnight.
STEP 2: Blend. Put all of the ingredients (frozen peach slices, banana, vanilla yogurt & milk) into a high-speed blender.
Blend until smooth. Then taste and adjust sweetness and texture. For a creamier smoothie, add more frozen peaches and/or less milk. For a sweeter smoothie, add a couple of dates or your sweetener of choice.
Top Tips
- Ripe Peaches: If you're using fresh peaches and freeze them yourself, make sure to freeze them at their peak ripeness. That way, you'll end up with a sweet, juicy smoothie. Check out this article on how to pick ripe peaches.
- Strong Blender: The stronger the blender, the smoother your drink will turn out. If possible, I recommend a strong-powered blender like a Vitamix.
Variations
- Texture: You can change the texture of this smoothie by adding more or less milk. For a creamy, thick smoothie, add less milk or use a frozen banana instead of a fresh one. For a thinner smoothie, gradually add more milk until desired consistency.
- Sweetness: This smoothie is lightly sweetened because it gets its natural sweetness from fruits and vanilla yogurt. The sweetness will depend on how ripe your peaches are and how sweetened your vanilla yogurt is. For a sweetener smoothie, add a couple of dates or your sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, agave syrup).
- No Banana: For a peach smoothie without banana, you could substitute with dates. Make sure that they are soft. If not, soak them in very hot water for about 10 minutes.
- Low-Fat: Choose a light, low-fat yogurt if you want to keep this a low-fat smoothie recipe.
Optional Add-Ins
- Other Fruit: Feel free to play around with the flavor of this delicious smoothie by adding more of your favorite fruit. Both frozen or fresh fruit will work. Berries such as strawberries or blueberries pair very well with peaches. But other tropical fruits such as mango or pineapple also taste great.
- Nut Butter: Feel free to add a tablespoon of peanut butter or homemade almond butter for more flavors and protein.
- Protein Powder: Talking about protein- if you want to make this a high-protein smoothie, feel free to add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- Cinnamon: A dash of cinnamon also makes a great addition to this smoothie.
- Seeds: Add a tablespoon of chia seeds, flaxseeds or hemp seeds for some healthy fats.
- Vanilla Extract: For even stronger vanilla flavors (other than only through the vanilla yogurt), feel free to add a 1 tps of vanilla extract.
Storage
- To store: Though it tastes best when consumed right away, it can be stored in the fridge for 1 day. Choose an airtight container. Give it a good stir or shake before consuming.
- To freeze: Freeze in a freezer-friendly container for up to 1 month. Let thaw in the fridge overnight. Give it a good stir or shake before consuming.
FAQs
We do not peel the peaches we eat. The peach's skin is particularly high in fiber and contains more antioxidants than the fresh. That being said, peach skin likely contains more pesticides than the flesh so buy organic, if possible. Read more about the skin of peaches and it's potential health benefits.
You could try adding berries such as fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries, apricots, mango or pineapple.
I do not recommend using canned peaches because they are usually high in sugar. You could however, buy frozen sliced peaches. This will also save time.
