Ingredients

  • 1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 2 cups Mango, chopped
  • 2 cups Frozen chopped Peaches
  • 1 Banana
  • Honey, to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Chop the mango into small pieces for easier blending.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, add the peeled and segmented oranges and the plain Greek yogurt. Then add the chopped mango, banana, and frozen peaches. Drizzle honey over the top to your preferred sweetness.
  3. Step 3: Begin blending on a low speed, gradually increasing until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.

Tips & Variations

  • Use coconut water or almond milk instead of yogurt for a lighter, dairy-free version.
  • Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra nutrients without altering the delicious tropical taste.
  • Freeze the banana beforehand to make the smoothie colder and creamier.

Storage

This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, and if the smoothie has thickened, add a splash of water or juice to loosen it. Avoid freezing once blended as the texture may change.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh peaches can be used, but adding ice cubes may help achieve a cooler, thicker consistency similar to using frozen peaches.

Is it possible to make this smoothie vegan?

Absolutely. Replace the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt or coconut milk, and use agave syrup or maple syrup instead of honey for sweetness.
