This spinach peach smoothie is all about keeping the green smoothie vibe bright, sweet, and fruit-forward. Juicy peach and creamy banana mellow the spinach, while Greek yogurt and oats make it smooth enough for breakfast but still refreshing for snack time. It blends into a pretty pale green drink with a sunny peach flavor that feels easy, fresh, and totally Pinterest-worthy.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced peach, fresh or frozen
- 1 packed cup fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 medium banana
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, optional
- 1/2 cup ice, if using fresh peach
How To Make It
1. Add the milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move and keeps the oats from sticking at the bottom. 2. Add the spinach, peach, banana, Greek yogurt, oats, and honey if you want a sweeter smoothie. 3. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds, or until the spinach is fully blended and the oats are smooth. 4. Check the texture. For a thicker smoothie, add more frozen peach or a few ice cubes. For a thinner smoothie, splash in a little extra milk. 5. Pour into a glass and enjoy right away while it is cold, creamy, and bright.
Tips
Use frozen peach slices for the easiest thick, frosty texture. If you only have fresh peaches, add ice and blend a little longer.
Baby spinach is the best choice here because it has a mild flavor and blends softly into the fruit. Pack it firmly into the measuring cup for a nice green color without making the smoothie taste grassy.
For extra peach flavor, use a ripe peach or add a small handful of extra frozen slices. The banana adds creaminess and natural sweetness, but you can skip the honey if your fruit is very ripe.
If your blender has trouble with oats, blend the oats and milk first for 10 seconds, then add the remaining ingredients. This makes the smoothie extra silky.
This spinach peach smoothie is a cheerful way to sip your greens and keep breakfast simple.
