Ingredients and Substitutions
This smoothie is made with just 5 ingredients! Be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the exact measurements.
- Banana: For sweetness and a creamy texture. You can use fresh or frozen.
- Frozen peach slices: Frozen fruit is inexpensive and lasts forever! You can use fresh if needed.
- Kefir: This unique fermented dairy drink is great for your gut. But you can sub yogurt if you prefer that too!
- Orange juice: For a bit more freshness and flavour. Feel free to sub for whatever juice you have on-hand.
- Hemp seeds: These are always optional… but I urge you to try them! Hemp seeds offer a nice nutty flavor, and they’re packed with nutrition.
Dietary Variations
- Dairy-free/vegan: You can make this smoothie with peaches and bananas vegan and dairy-free by swapping kefir for soy beverage or a plant-based yogurt of your choice.
- More protein: Add a scoop of your favorite protein powder to give this smoothie an extra boost of protein.
- Make it sweeter: Add 1-2 tsp of honey (or sweetener of your choice) or 1-2 pitted medjool dates. Or add a little extra fruit or orange juice!
- More filling: To make smoothies more filling, add extra protein and fiber. I love to add a scoop of vanilla whey protein and ¼ cup of oats.
Optional Add-Ins
The beauty of smoothies is that they’re so easy to customize. If you want extra nutrition, color, or flavor, try adding:
- Frozen berries: Strawberries or raspberries add a bright, slightly tart flavor and boost the vitamin C. They also give the smoothie a pretty pink color.
- Avocado chunks: Makes your smoothie extra creamy and adds healthy fats without changing the flavor much. Use about ¼ of a ripe avocado.
- Leafy greens: Fresh spinach or frozen kale blend right in and add a nice nutrient boost. Start with a small handful and you won’t notice the flavor.
- Nuts and seeds: A few cashews blend into a super smooth texture and add staying power.
- Ground flax seeds: A great way to add fiber and healthy fats. Just a tablespoon goes a long way, and you won’t even taste it.
- Dates: One or two pitted dates give natural sweetness and pair well with banana and peach. Soak them in hot water first if your blender needs a little help.
- Oats: Rolled oats add thickness and make the smoothie more filling. Try 2–3 tablespoons for a creamy texture that tastes like breakfast.
- Carrot: Adds natural sweetness and a little color. Use a few raw baby carrots or a couple of slices of peeled carrot.
- Protein powder: Great if you want your smoothie to double as a post-workout snack or meal replacement. Vanilla or unflavored work best here.
- Frozen cauliflower (you heard that right!): It blends in smooth and adds fiber, volume, and a thicker texture.
- Cinnamon: A pinch adds warmth and spice, especially good if you’re using oats, dates, or protein powder.
What’s The Best Blender for Smoothies?
Nobody likes drinking chunks. So the key to a great smoothie is a blender that works! But you don’t need to spend loads of money to get one. I love and use Ninja Kitchen blenders and they work just as well as the pricier options!
Tips for Success
- Adjust the liquid as desired: More liquid = a thinner consistency! If you’re adding all fresh fruit, start with less liquid! If you’re using all frozen fruit, add more liquid.
- Try different fruits: You can’t go wrong mixing fruits in a blender! Feel free to swap fruits for what you have available, or add additional fruits like frozen strawberries or fresh kiwi.
- Prep the fruit ahead: Portion fruit and seeds in individual freezer-safe containers or bags. When you’re ready to enjoy your smoothie, add the contents of the bag to a blender, top with kefir and orange juice, and blend!
