When the heat cranks up and turning on the stove feels like an act of war, this peach smoothie saves the day. It’s what I reach for when I want something sweet, cold, and healthy without doing, well, much of anything. The kind of thing that tastes like a treat but secretly checks off the boxes: fruit? Yep. Creamy? Absolutely. Refreshing? Like a cannonball into a cold pool. I’ve played around with smoothies a lot—some were flops (banana-pineapple-spinach… not my finest), but this one? It’s a keeper. Peaches bring the soft summer flavor, yogurt adds tang and thickness, and a splash of vanilla ties it all together. Whether you’re blitzing this up in your Ninja Creami or using a basic blender from college, you’re just 3 minutes away from peachy perfection. And if you’re thinking this is only for breakfast, think again. I’ve made it post-run, pre-dinner, mid-laundry—you get it. It’s one of those quick and easy recipes that just works. And honestly, we all need more of those.

2) Easy Peach Smoothie Recipe

If you’re anything like me, when summer shows up, you’re not interested in turning on the stove. That’s where this peach smoothie comes in. It’s cold, creamy, and wildly refreshing.

This quick and easy recipe is one of those blender miracles you’ll want to keep in rotation. It takes just minutes to throw together, yet the flavor is like something you’d pay six bucks for at a café. Only this time, you can stay in your slippers and skip the tip jar.

I love the way the peach flavor stands out—simple, honest, and sweet in that soft, fuzzy kind of way. It’s the kind of smoothie that quietly makes your day better, one cool sip at a time. This is one of those quick and easy recipes that becomes a staple fast.

3) Ingredients for Peach Smoothie

2 ripe peaches: Peeled, pitted, and sliced. They bring all the fresh sweetness. You can use frozen if fresh ones are out of season.

1 cup plain Greek yogurt: This makes the smoothie creamy and adds a light tang. You can also use vanilla yogurt for extra sweetness.

1/2 cup almond milk: I usually go with almond milk because it keeps things light, but use whatever milk you have in the fridge.

1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A splash of vanilla pulls everything together and makes it taste like dessert in a glass.

1 tablespoon honey: Optional, depending on how sweet your peaches are. Taste before you blend it in.

1/2 cup ice cubes: This chills things down and helps thicken it up. If you’re using frozen peaches, you can skip the ice.

4) How to Make Peach Smoothie

Step 1. Add the sliced peaches, Greek yogurt, almond milk, vanilla extract, and honey to the blender. Stack them in that order so the blender doesn’t struggle.

Step 2. Top everything off with the ice cubes. This helps keep things cool and gives it that thick, shake-like texture.

Step 3. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides if you need to—no judgment here.

Step 4. Taste it. If your peaches weren’t super ripe, you might want to add a little more honey. Give it another quick spin if you do.

Step 5. Pour into a glass and enjoy it immediately. Or pour it into a bowl and go full smoothie-bowl if you’re feeling trendy.

5) Tips for Making Peach Smoothie

Use ripe peaches. The better the fruit, the better the smoothie. If they smell like peach candy, you’re good to go. If they’re hard, maybe wait a day or two—or just use frozen ones.

This recipe fits perfectly with the idea of sweet easy recipes. You don’t need to measure down to the last spoon. Go by taste, trust your instincts. That’s how the best smoothies are born.

If you’ve got a Ninja Creami or another high-powered blender, that’s great. If you don’t, that’s fine too. I’ve used a $25 blender from college and still gotten great results. That’s the beauty of quick and easy recipes.

6) Making Peach Smoothie Ahead of Time

Want to prep ahead? Go for it. Just blend the smoothie and pour it into a jar or lidded glass. Store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Give it a good shake or stir before drinking—it tends to separate a little.

You can also freeze blended smoothies into ice cube trays. Then when you’re ready, toss the cubes in the blender and add a splash of milk to bring it back to life. Great for those truly hectic mornings when even slicing fruit feels like too much.

This is one of those vegan easy recipes that stays flexible. You can prep ahead and still enjoy a smoothie that feels fresh.

7) Storing Leftover Peach Smoothie

Leftovers? Rare in my house, but if you’ve got any, pour the smoothie into a lidded container and stash it in the fridge. It’ll keep for about a day.

Before you drink it, give it a shake or a stir. Smoothies tend to split a bit when they sit. The flavor holds up though, and it still tastes just as good.

For longer storage, freeze the leftovers in popsicle molds. Suddenly, you’ve got a healthy dessert from one of your favorite quick and easy recipes. Who doesn’t love that?
