This kid-friendly Banana Peach Smoothie takes just 5 minutes to make! It’s perfect for busy mornings or when you need a mid-afternoon pick me up. A healthy and tasty drink that’s great for the whole family!

Summer is here! That means yummy stone fruits, fresh berries, outdoor picnics and of course – smoothies in the morning for a refreshing start to the day!

I had a couple peaches left over from the farmer’s market this week, so I thought I’d use them up in a smoothie.

It’s a great way to use up remaining fruit, is super healthy, and takes only 5 minutes (or less) to make. This smoothie is naturally sweet, which makes it perfect for kids and an easy breakfast for the whole family!

Will Kids Enjoy this Banana Peach Smoothie?

Are smoothies good for you?

Smoothies are a great way of getting vitamins and minerals into your diet, especially for Picky Eaters! But if you order a smoothie at a restaurant, it’s likely packed with added fruit juices and syrups to make it sweeter. Fruit juices and syrups like agave, honey or maple syrup are all just different forms of added sugar and are not needed in a smoothie – since fresh fruit is already sweet!

My peach banana smoothie is a great afternoon pick me up, with all natural ingredients and no added sugar. The Greek yogurt also gives a protein boost.

It’s great as a mid-day snack, as a kid-friendly treat, as a replacement for juice, or even as a quick breakfast.

How Long Can Smoothies Last in the Refrigerator?

This recipe should keep well in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It will separate once refrigerated, but you just have to stir it up with a spoon before serving if you do decide to refrigerate it before drinking it.

Do You Need Ice When Making A Smoothie?

My secret to smoothie making involves using frozen fruit instead of ice! Using frozen fruit has multiple benefits: 1) You can keep a bunch of it on hand in your freezer so you always have smoothie ingredients ready to use 2) You’ll get that nice, thick, creamy texture without having to water down the flavor by using ice.

Top tips to make this Banana Peach Smoothie

If you can’t find fresh peaches, use frozen ones – they will taste just as good!

Use fresh orange juice with no added sugar.

Use a high quality blender. For this smoothie I used our Ninja, but for larger quantities I recommend the Vitamix which gives you the smoothest, milkshake like consistency!

Use an unsweetened Greek yogurt. To increase the protein, just increase the amount of plain Greek yogurt you use in this smoothie!

To make this smoothie vegan, swap the Greek yogurt for a dairy free variety (but make sure the dairy free yogurt you use doesn’t have any added processed ingredients like carrageenan). You can also just omit the yogurt to make it dairy free or vegan.

Serve immediately – it will separate after it’s been sitting for a while! If it does separate, just stir it up before serving.

For some extra greens, add 1-2 cups fresh baby spinach into this smoothie. You won’t be able to taste it at all but you will be able to sneak some veggies into your family’s diet!
