This Easy Peach Smoothie is a creamy and delicious way to start your day, or a great summer snack that makes good use of fresh and juicy peaches. Make it thicker and serve it in a bowl loaded with toppings, or pour it in a glass for a quick fruit packed drink.
Peach Smoothie
This Peach Smoothie can be thrown together in under 5 minutes, making it a quick and easy breakfast that can be drunk on the go, or a drink to cool down with whilst sitting outside on a hot summer day. Fresh, juicy and ripe peaches are in abundance during the summer, and this is the perfect way to make full use of them. A sweet and creamy smoothie that kids love too.
What Are The Health Benefits of Peaches?
We are always looking for more ways to include fruit in our diet and smoothies are such an easy way, and kids love them too. They are a great way to get kids involved in the kitchen as well, as they can throw everything in to the blender.
Peaches are a good source of iron, folate and vitamins K and E. Not only that, but they are super sweet when they are ripe and in season, so you don’t need to use any other sweetener (although you can if you like your smoothie super sweet).
Creamy Peach Smoothie
This smoothie is super creamy and has a lovely tropical taste to it. Not only are the blended peaches and banana creamy, but we have used coconut milk and some yoghurt along with the milk to make it extra creamy. The coconut milk gives it that tropical taste, however if you are not a fan you can always leave it out.
It you want to make this smoothie even more refreshing on a hot summer day, then freeze the peaches overnight and add them to the blender. Not only will it make it colder, but peaches are actually creamier when blended from frozen.
Can You Use Canned Peaches?
If you don’t have fresh or frozen peaches, and you want to make this out of season then you can use canned peaches. Go for the ones in fruit juice and make sure they are fully drained first.
How To Make a Peach Smoothie – Step by Step:
