Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Fresh peaches will work beautifully in this recipe, but you'll want to add extra ice (about 1 cup total) to achieve the same frosty consistency. Using frozen peaches gives that thick, milkshake-like texture without watering down the flavor.

How can I make this smoothie more filling for breakfast?

Turn this into a more substantial meal by adding a tablespoon of nut butter, a scoop of protein powder, or 1/4 cup of rolled oats. These additions provide protein and fiber that will keep you satisfied until lunch. The oats make it extra creamy too!

My blender isn't very powerful. Any tips?

Let your frozen peaches thaw for about 5 minutes before blending. Also, try cutting your banana into smaller pieces and blend in stages - start with milk and banana, then gradually add the other ingredients. If needed, stop and stir occasionally to help things along.

Can this smoothie be made ahead of time?

While smoothies are best enjoyed immediately after blending, you can store this in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The texture might change slightly and separation might occur - just give it a good shake or quick re-blend to refresh it.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute cow’s milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk.

To make it creamier, add a spoonful of Greek yogurt or a splash of heavy cream.
Use fresh peaches instead of frozen and adjust the ice accordingly for a similar texture
