This Peach Pineapple Banana Smoothie is all about bright tropical flavor with a soft, creamy finish. Pineapple brings juicy tang, peaches add mellow sweetness, banana gives the blend a silky texture, coconut milk keeps it smooth, and a squeeze of lime wakes everything up. It is a colorful fruit smoothie for quick breakfasts, easy snack breaks, or warm afternoons when you want something refreshing and simple.
Ingredients
Use frozen fruit for the thickest, coldest smoothie, or mix fresh and frozen fruit based on what you have on hand.
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 cup sliced peaches, fresh or frozen
- 1 medium ripe banana, sliced
- 3/4 cup coconut milk, plus more as needed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 cup ice, optional
For a lighter smoothie, use refrigerated carton coconut milk. For a creamier, slightly richer blend, use canned light coconut milk. If your peaches and pineapple are fresh instead of frozen, add the ice or freeze the banana slices ahead of time.
How To Make It
Add the coconut milk to the blender first. This helps the blades move easily and keeps the fruit from sticking. Add the banana, peaches, pineapple, lime juice, and ice if using.
Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds, or until the smoothie looks completely creamy and the fruit is fully broken down. If the mixture is too thick, add another splash of coconut milk and blend again. If you want it frostier, add a few extra pineapple chunks or ice cubes.
Taste before pouring. If your fruit is very sweet, it may be perfect as is. If the pineapple or peaches are extra tart, add a little more banana or a small drizzle of honey, then blend for a few seconds more.
Pour into one large glass or two small glasses and serve right away while it is cold, bright, and freshly blended.
Tips
- Frozen pineapple makes this smoothie taste extra refreshing and gives it a thick, slushy texture.
- A ripe banana is best because it adds natural sweetness and helps the smoothie blend up creamy.
- Fresh lime juice adds a sunny pop of flavor, so start with 1 tablespoon and add a little more if you like a tangier sip.
- To make it a smoothie bowl, reduce the coconut milk to 1/2 cup and use mostly frozen fruit.
- If the smoothie separates after sitting, stir it well or blend it again for a few seconds.
- For a pretty garnish, add a small pineapple wedge, peach slice, or sprinkle of shredded coconut on top.
Blend it up and enjoy a cheerful glass of fruity sunshine!
