This peach orange cream smoothie is a sunny fruit smoothie that blends juicy peach, fresh orange, banana, and vanilla yogurt into a soft, citrusy creamsicle-style sip. It is bright enough for breakfast and creamy enough to feel like a sweet afternoon treat, with simple ingredients you can keep on hand.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen peach slices
- 1 large orange, peeled and segmented
- 1/2 medium banana, preferably frozen
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup milk or orange juice, plus more as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- 1 cup ice, optional for a frostier smoothie
How To Make It
1. Add the orange segments to the blender first. This helps release juice and gives the blades enough liquid to pull everything down smoothly. 2. Add the frozen peach slices, banana, vanilla yogurt, Greek yogurt, and milk or orange juice. 3. Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the smoothie looks creamy and fully combined. 4. Check the texture. For a thinner smoothie, add another splash of milk or orange juice. For a thicker smoothie, add a few extra frozen peach slices or a handful of ice. 5. Taste and adjust. If your orange is very tart, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup. If you want a more dessert-like flavor, add the vanilla extract. 6. Pour into one large glass or two small glasses and serve right away while it is cold, bright, and creamy.
Tips
Use frozen peaches for the best thick, milkshake-like texture. Fresh peaches work too, but add ice or use a frozen banana to keep the smoothie chilled and creamy.
For the richest creamsicle flavor, keep the vanilla yogurt in the recipe and use Greek yogurt for extra body. If you prefer a lighter, brighter smoothie, swap the milk for orange juice to make the citrus flavor pop.
Peel the orange well and remove any large seeds before blending. A sweet navel orange gives a smooth, mellow flavor, while a cara cara orange adds a pretty rosy color.
To prep ahead, portion the peach, banana, and orange segments into a freezer bag. When ready to blend, add the yogurts and liquid, then blend until silky. This recipe is also easy to double for two generous smoothies.
This peach orange cream smoothie is a cheerful glass of sunshine.
