Peach Smoothie Tips

Do you need to peel the peaches for a peach smoothie?

You don't need to peel the peaches to make a peach smoothie. However, if you'd like to remove them for this recipe, check out our guide on how to peel peaches.

What can you use instead of peach or apricot nectar?

Instead of peach or apricot nectar, substitute in other popular pantry items that double as sugar alternatives, such as honey, maple syrup or agave.

What else can you add to a peach smoothie?

There's no shortage of tasty extras that can be added to a peach smoothie! If you'd like to boost the protein, try mixing in chia seeds, wheat germ, raw oats, spinach or protein powder. If you'd like to experiment with other fruit, don't be afraid to toss in some frozen strawberries or blueberries, or sliced bananas. And for those who don't eat dairy, or want less of it in their diet, substitute the vanilla yogurt for dairy-free yogurt alternatives.

How can you make a peach smoothie thicker or thinner?

To make your peach smoothie thicker, try adding extra yogurt and fruit; to make it thinner, add extra nectar and less yogurt.

Can you make a peach smoothie ahead of time?

Like other make-ahead smoothie recipes, you can blend and freeze your peach smoothie to enjoy on a different day. Just make sure to thaw the smoothie overnight in the fridge before you want to eat it. Otherwise, speed up smoothie prep by precutting any fresh fruits you want to use and store them in the freezer.
