Healthy Creamy Fresh Peach Smoothie Recipe with Greek Yogurt 

Start your morning with this healthy creamy fresh peach smoothie recipe with Greek yogurt. It is packed with protein, naturally sweetened, and blends into a thick, milkshake-like consistency in under two minutes. 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups frozen sliced peaches (frozen fruit eliminates the need for ice)

• 1 cup milk (dairy, unsweetened almond milk, or oat milk)

• ½ cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (full-fat yields the creamiest texture)

• 1 tbsp honey or pure maple syrup

• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract

1.Load the Liquids and Soft Ingredients:Liquids must go in first to create a vortex..

Pour the milk, Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract into the bottom of your blender pitcher. Having the liquids at the base allows the blender blades to catch immediately and pull the frozen fruit down smoothly.

2.Add the Frozen Fruit:Using frozen peaches prevents the smoothie from watering down..

Place the frozen sliced peaches on top of the liquid ingredients. If you are using fresh peaches instead, you will need to add 1 cup of ice cubes to achieve a thick, frosty texture.

3.Blend Until Creamy:

Secure the blender lid and start blending on a low speed to chop up the frozen fruit. Once the mixture starts moving, increase the speed to high and blend for 45 to 60 seconds.

4.Adjust Consistency:

Stop the blender and check the texture. If the smoothie is too thick to pour, add another splash of milk (about 2 tablespoons at a time) and pulse until you reach your desired consistency. Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately.
