Peaches add juicy sweetness, fiber and vitamin A, makes smoothie taste summer ripe.
Blueberries bring antioxidants and subtle tartness, plus extra fiber and natural sweetness.
Yogurt gives protein and creaminess, probiotic benefits if it’s live culture yogurt.
Milk makes it smooth and drinkable, adds calcium and sometimes extra protein.
Honey or maple syrup sweeten naturally, used sparingly they keep things balanced.
Lemon juice wakes flavors with bright acidity, helps keep color from browning.
Vanilla and pinch of salt boost flavor depth, make sweetness feel more rounded.
Ice chills and thickens, great with frozen fruit for a fuller smoothie body.

Ingredient Quantities

1 cup peaches, fresh or frozen, sliced (about 1 large peach)

3/4 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (Greek or regular)

1/2 to 3/4 cup milk, dairy or plant based

1/2 cup ice, optional for a thicker smoothie

1 to 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup, to taste

1 tsp lemon juice, optional

1/2 tsp vanilla extract, optional

Pinch of salt, optional

How to Make this

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

1. Prep the fruit: slice about 1 cup peaches (1 large peach) and measure 3/4 cup blueberries; if using frozen fruit you can blend straight from the freezer but you might skip or reduce the ice.

2. Pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup milk into the blender first, then add 1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt; starting with the liquid helps everything blend smooth.

3. Add the peaches and blueberries on top of the liquids so the blades can catch them easier.

4. Toss in 1 to 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and a pinch of salt; add 1/2 cup ice if you want a thicker, colder smoothie.

5. Start blending on low and ramp to high, or pulse a few times, blend until smooth about 30 to 60 seconds; if it stalls scrape the sides and add a splash more milk to loosen it up.

6. Taste and adjust: add more sweetener if needed, more lemon for brightness, or more milk to thin it out; dont overblend or it will get too frothy.

7. Pour into glasses, garnish with a few whole blueberries or a peach slice if you feel fancy, and serve immediately for best flavor.

8. Quick clean trick: rinse the blender, then fill halfway with warm water and a drop of dish soap and blend for a few seconds to make cleanup easy.

Equipment Needed

1. Blender, a high speed one makes the smoothie extra silky but any blender works
2. Measuring cups, for the peaches, blueberries, milk and ice
3. Measuring spoons, for the lemon juice, vanilla and salt
4. Cutting board, to slice the peach and keep things neat
5. Paring knife, sharp so you dont mash the fruit while cutting
6. Rubber spatula or large spoon, to scrape the sides and scoop it all out
7. Glasses or tumblers, for serving right away
8. Measuring cup or ice scoop, to add ice without making a mess
9. Dish soap and warm water, for that quick blender-clean trick

FAQ

Q: Can I use frozen fruit instead of fresh?
A: Yes. Frozen peaches and blueberries work great, they make the smoothie thick and cold. If both fruits are frozen you may need less ice or a bit more milk to blend smoothly.

Q: How do I make the smoothie thicker or thinner?
A: Thicker: add more yogurt, use less milk or toss in half a banana or some avocado. Thinner: add more milk, or water, or a splash of juice. Blend and adjust until it feels right.

Q: Can I make this vegan or dairy free?
A: Absolutely. Swap dairy milk for almond, oat or soy milk and use a plant based yogurt. Use maple syrup instead of honey if you want fully vegan.

Q: How sweet should I make it, can I skip the sweetener?
A: You can skip it if your fruit is very ripe and sweet. Start with 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup and taste, add up to 2 tbsp if needed. A little lemon juice can brighten flavor so you might use less sweetener.

Q: Can I prep the smoothie ahead or store leftovers?
A: You can make it ahead but its best fresh. Store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge up to 24 hours, it will separate so shake or re blend before drinking. For longer storage freeze fruit in smoothie packs for up to 3 months and blend with liquid when ready.

Q: Any quick tips for best flavor and texture?
A: Use a ripe peach, remove the pit, you can leave the skin on for fiber. Add the ice last and pulse to control texture. A pinch of salt and 1/2 tsp vanilla lift the flavors. If your blender struggles, let frozen fruit thaw a few minutes or add more liquid.

Peach Blueberry Smoothie Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Peaches: swap with mango, nectarines, or apricots. Use about the same amount; if the substitute is less sweet, add a touch of honey or maple syrup.
Blueberries: swap with strawberries, raspberries, or frozen cherries. Strawberries should be hulled and sliced; raspberries are tangier so you might want a bit more sweetener.
Plain or vanilla yogurt: swap with silken tofu, coconut yogurt, or kefir. Tofu keeps it creamy and boosts protein, coconut yogurt makes it dairy free and a bit sweeter, kefir gives a thinner, tangy result.
Milk: swap with almond milk, oat milk, or orange juice. Oat milk adds creaminess, almond milk keeps it light, orange juice brightens the flavor but will be less creamy.

Pro Tips

1) Freeze or dont freeze the fruit depending on the texture you want. Frozen peaches and berries make it thick and frosty so you can skip the ice, fresh fruit will need a few ice cubes or more yogurt to get that same creaminess, its all about texture so experiment.

2) Put the liquids in first and start the blender slow, then ramp up or pulse, that way the blades grab everything faster and you avoid giant chunks, if it stalls scrape the sides and add a tiny splash of milk, just dont overblend or it gets all frothy and airy.

3) Always taste before you dump more sweetener, a little lemon juice wakes up the fruit and plain yogurt keeps it bright not cloying, honey or maple can be adjusted in small amounts so you dont over-sweeten it.

4) Cleanup hack: rinse right away then fill the blender halfway with warm water + a drop of dish soap and blend for a few seconds, pour out and rinse, saves so much scrubbing.
