Ingredients You’ll Need

Grab these goodies and toss ’em in like a smoothie magician:

  • 1 cup frozen peaches – use fresh if you’re feeling fancy.
  • ½ cup frozen blueberries – the tiny antioxidants that could.
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder – whey, plant-based, unicorn dust… whatever you vibe with.
  • 1 cup milk of choice – dairy, almond, oat, cashew, dragon… you choose.
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt – for that thick, creamy “I’m basically a milkshake” texture.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – optional, but it makes you feel like a real chef.
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup – only if you like things sweet and magical.
  • A few ice cubes – if you like your smoothies frosty-cold and Instagram-aesthetic.

This smoothie is basically a nutritional win. It gives you long-lasting energy, a hefty boost of protein, and a sunshiney dose of fruit nutrients. Plus, IMO, drinking a smoothie this pretty should count as self-care. It’s quick, it’s tasty, and it’ll keep you full without the post-breakfast slump.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using room-temperature fruit. Your smoothie will taste like sadness water.
  • Skipping the yogurt and then wondering why it’s watery instead of creamy.
  • Overloading the blender like you’re building a fruit skyscraper—no, just no.
  • Adding way too much liquid. You’ll end up with fruit soup. Tasty, but not the goal.
  • Not blending long enough and getting that rogue blueberry chunk surprise. Rookie mistake.

Alternatives & Substitutions

  • No peaches? Use mango. It’s like peaches’ tropical cousin who always vacations.
  • No blueberries? Strawberries or blackberries work great.
  • No Greek yogurt? Swap for regular yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt. Still creamy, still yum.
  • Don’t like vanilla? Use chocolate protein powder—go wild.
  • Want it thicker? Add more frozen fruit. Want it thinner? Add a splash more milk.

Honestly, smoothies are the one place you can improv like a jazz musician and still end up with something delicious.
