🎉 Top tip
This smoothie recipe is extremely versatile and hard to mess up!

The three basic ingredients you'll need to make a peach smoothie are frozen peaches, a banana and vanilla yogurt. Optionally, you can add frozen pineapple chunks and ground cinnamon to enhance the flavor of the peaches.
Yes; you can use canned peaches for a peach smoothie. For best results, use unsweetened peaches, drain their syrup, and freeze them in a freezer-safe container before making your smoothie.
If you like your smoothies extra cold and icy, it's highly recommended to add ice along with the other ingredients.
You can add more frozen pineapples and/or a little raw honey to make your peach smoothie sweeter in taste.
