Shh! Don’t tell the Disney Princesses, but we’re featuring a competitor’s princess… Princess Peach!
The elegant and sweet Princess Peach would be thrilled with this creamy peach smoothie recipe that will whisk you away on a delicious adventure! Just like Peach’s gentle grace and vibrant spirit, this smoothie captures the essence of summer with its luscious peach flavor and creamy texture. So, whether you’re a fan of Mario Kart races or simply craving a taste of Peach’s Kingdom, sip on this delicious smoothie and let your taste buds revel in royal bliss.
This Creamy Peach Smoothie is a copycat of Roxberry’s Peachy Keen Smoothie. Fresh peaches, bananas, and creamy frozen yogurt make this a rich, tasty, refreshing treat!
This Creamy Peach Smoothie is such a refreshing treat! I first tried Roxberry’s version of the Peachy Keen Smoothie several years ago and was hooked! I would pass by a Roxberry on my way to work every day and I can’t tell you how many times my car would veer into the drive-thru. Occasionally I’d grab a green smoothie to feel healthy but more often than not, I would order this little piece of peach heaven. The creamy texture and natural sweetness makes this an ideal afternoon snack, breakfast or even late night treat. If you’re a peach lover like I am, you will absolutely LOVE the peachy taste of this smoothie.
Ingredients in this Peach Smoothie
Sometimes smoothies have too many different flavors and things get lost, but this recipe is ALL peach flavor! The banana and the frozen yogurt are just there to make the smoothie super creamy. Here’s what you need:
- Peaches – You can use 16 ounces of frozen peaches or a few cups of fresh, sliced peaches.
- Frozen yogurt – I like to use plain vanilla frozen yogurt but you could find peach flavored yogurt as well. Find it near the ice cream at most grocery stores.
- Peach juice – Sometimes you can find frozen peach juice concentrate near the frozen orange juice, or in the canned juices aisle of the grocery store.
- Banana – I usually slice one fresh banana into my smoothie but you can easily use frozen bananas.
Add More Fruit Flavors
The beauty of smoothies is you can quite literally toss anything into a blender and create a delicious and refreshing meal in a cup! Substitute any frozen fruit you like! Strawberries, blackberries, mango, raspberries, bananas, pineapple, grapes, kiwi, blueberries, etc. One of my favorites is a strawberry peach smoothie, where I add a cup of frozen strawberries into the recipe above. It’s delicious!
Dairy-free Options
If you can’t find the frozen yogurt you like or want a dairy-free option for your smoothie, try:
- Protein powder – add a scoop of your favorite non-dairy powder and some ice cubes to the smoothie.
- Oat milk, Soy milk, Almond milk or Coconut milk are all delicious dairy-free options.
Looking for a way to sweeten your smoothie without additional sugar? Try these:
- Honey – drizzle a little into the smoothie before blending.
- Vanilla or other flavored Greek yogurt – adds extra protein and additional sweetness.
- Maple syrup – about a teaspoon or so.
- Vanilla extract – just about half a teaspoon will give your smoothie extra vanilla flavor.
