    Ingredients & substitutions

    Can you believe this banana peach protein smoothie only has five ingredients? It is refreshing, naturally sweet, and easy to throw together for a quick healthy breakfast or snack. Here is a list of exactly what you need:

    • Greek Yogurt: This is the protein source in this smoothie recipe. It makes the smoothie creamy and delicious! You can use plain or vanilla flavored nonfat or full-fat greek yogurt.
    • Banana: You will need 1 large banana (either fresh or frozen). It helps naturally sweeten this protein smoothie. Using frozen bananas will help thicken the smoothie, too without needing to add lots of ice.
    • Peaches: Next, you’ll need 1 and 1/2 cups of frozen peach slices or one large fresh peach cut up into slices. Using frozen peach slices will help thicken the smoothie.
    • Almond milk: This helps give this smoothie the perfect consistency. You can also use oat milk or type of milk!
    • Cinnamon: A dash of cinnamon goes a long way flavor-wise! I promise it gives this peach and banana smoothie the perfect flavor.
    • Toppings: Make this protein smoothie extra fun and nutritious by adding your favorite granola on top, extra peach slices, some chia seeds, and even some nut butter.

    Variations and add-ins

    I love this smoothie as is, but feel free to make it your own! Here is a list of nutritional suggestions for this banana peach smoothie:

    • Chia Seeds: add in 1 Tablespoon of chia seeds for a boost of fiber and healthy fats.
    • Protein Powder: looking for more protein? I recommend adding plain or vanilla-flavored protein powder.
    • Collagen: add in 1 scoop for protein and to help strengthen your nails, skin, and hair.
    • Ground Flaxseed: add in 1 Tablespoon of flaxseed meal for an extra boost of fiber and minerals.
    • Nut Butter: add peanut butter, almond butter, sun butter, or cashew butter for extra healthy fats. This will keep you full for longer!
    • Hemp Seeds: add in 1 – 2 Tablespoons of hemp seeds of omegas, minerals, and healthy fats.

    Expert tips for thick smoothies

    I prefer my smoothies to be thick and creamy. Since I make so many, here are some tips and tricks for making thick smoothies:

    Use frozen fruit and frozen banana. This is a trick I picked up along the way. It will keep the smoothie cold and thick as you blend everything.

    Blend and then add ice to thicken. I recommend blending the smoothie together, testing the thickness, and if you want it to be thinker, adding in a few ice cubes.

    Pulse your blender. Rather than blending at a high speed, try pulsing the blender to fully incorporate the frozen fruit. This will keep the smoothie cold and thick.

    Don’t add too much milk. You can always add more, so start with 1/2 cup. If the smoothie is too thick, thin it out with extra milk.

    Is this smoothie healthy?

    Yes! This banana peach protein smoothie is a healthy recipe option for everyone. It is packed with nutrients. Has added protein and healthy fats from Greek yogurt, calcium from almond milk, and vitamins from the fruit.

    There are 13 grams of natural protein from the Greek yogurt. Feel free to add extra protein by adding a scoop of protein powder or collagen to this smoothie recipe.

    Can I make this smoothie vegan?

    Yes! Make this banana peach smoothie vegan by using a plant-based dairy-free yogurt instead of the Greek yogurt. I like almond milk yogurt.
