This Orange Peach Creamsicle Smoothie is all about bright citrus, sweet peach, and a creamy vanilla finish. It tastes like a sunny frozen treat, but it blends up in minutes with simple fruit, yogurt, and a little ice. Make it for a warm morning breakfast, an easy afternoon snack, or a cheerful smoothie to sip outside.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen peach slices
- 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
- 1/2 medium banana, preferably frozen
- 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup milk, or more as needed
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
Frozen peaches give this smoothie its thick, frosty texture and sweet peach flavor. A fresh orange adds the creamsicle-style citrus note, while banana helps make everything smooth and naturally sweet. The mix of vanilla yogurt and Greek yogurt keeps it creamy without making it too heavy.
How To Make It
Add the milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move easily and makes blending smoother from the start.
Add the orange segments, frozen peaches, banana, vanilla yogurt, Greek yogurt, ice, and vanilla extract if using. Blend on high until the smoothie is thick, creamy, and fully combined.
If the smoothie is too thick, add another splash of milk and blend again. If you want it frostier, add a few extra ice cubes or more frozen peach slices. Taste and adjust before serving. For a sweeter smoothie, use a very ripe banana or add a small drizzle of honey.
Pour into one large glass or two smaller glasses. Serve right away while the smoothie is cold, creamy, and bright.
Tips
For the best orange flavor, remove as much white pith from the orange as you can before blending. Too much pith can make the smoothie taste slightly bitter.
Use frozen banana if you want an extra thick, milkshake-like texture. If your fruit is all fresh, add more ice to keep the smoothie chilled and creamy.
Vanilla yogurt brings that classic creamsicle vibe, but plain yogurt works too if you add the optional vanilla extract. Greek yogurt adds thickness and a little tang that balances the sweetness of the peach and orange.
For a lighter citrus flavor, replace part of the milk with orange juice. For an extra creamy version, use whole milk, oat milk, or vanilla almond milk.
This sunny smoothie is simple, sweet, and ready to brighten your blender routine!
