Equipment

  • High-speed blender or Vitamix

Ingredients
 

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) can peaches
  • 2 sliced bananas
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup white sugar or to taste (Optional)
  • 2 cubes ice

Instructions
 

Set Up the Blender for a Smooth Blend

  • Pour the orange juice and plain yogurt into the blender jar first. Adding the liquids first ensures the blades have something to grab, which prevents fruit from getting stuck underneath.
  • Ensure your sliced bananas are speckled for the best natural sweetness and make sure all ingredients are cold to keep the texture thick.

Build the Jar and Add the Secret Boost

  • Add the canned peaches, sliced bananas, and ice to the blender jar along with the white sugar if you are using it.
  • Sprinkle in a tiny pinch of sea salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. This secret boost enhances the peach aroma and rounds out the flavor of the smoothie.

Blend to Velvety Smooth

  • Start the blender on a low pulse to break up the ice cubes and larger fruit pieces.
  • Switch to high speed and blend until the mixture appears glossy, uniform, and pours in a smooth ribbon without any visible ice crystals.

Notes

Pro Tip: Use frozen fruit pieces instead of extra ice cubes if you prefer a much thicker, smoothie bowl consistency.
Storage Tip: To keep the smoothie from turning brown, add a teaspoon of lemon juice before storing it in an airtight mason jar filled to the top.
Serving Tip: Chill your serving glass in the freezer for a few minutes before pouring to keep the smoothie frosty until the very last sip.
