Ingredients
The simple ingredients make this the perfect smoothie to enjoy on a summer day when you want something quick, sweet, and refreshing!
- Strawberries - For a cold and creamy texture use frozen strawberries. If you are in a pinch you can use fresh strawberries.
- Peaches - Fresh peaches give the strongest flavor. You can use frozen, especially if peaches aren’t in season.
- Bananas - For best results use a frozen banana. If you need to use a fresh banana then add a handful of ice cubes into your smoothie to help with the temperature and the texture.
- Dates - If you would like some extra sweetness you can add a date or two. It will depend on how sweet your fruit is and how sweet your tooth is. Trust your judgment on this one. If you know you want to add a date or two, do it at the beginning so that it blends well. If you taste your smoothie after it is made and it isn’t sweet enough, add a little maple syrup instead, and blend until it is incorporated.
- Milk - You can use any kind of non-dairy milk you like. Our favorites are almond milk and soy milk. Other good options would be oat milk or cashew milk. The nutrition information on the recipe card is based on soy milk.

How to Make a Strawberry Peach Smoothie
Smoothies are one of the easiest things to make as long as you have a good blender. And even with a subpar blender, they aren’t difficult! Just put all of your ingredients into the blender and blend until creamy! You got this.
Top Tips
- If you use mostly frozen fruit you won’t need to add any ice and your smoothie will be creamier. However, if all you have is fresh fruit, you can still make a delicious smoothie. Just add a handful of ice into the blender!
- Peaches tend to taste better when they are fresh. I know. I literally just told you to use frozen fruit. But if you can, use fresh peaches (not frozen). And if you need to refrigerate or freeze your peaches, let them ripen as much as possible first. You might just need to trust me on this one.
- If you like a thinner smoothie use less fruit or add more liquid!
Substitutions
- Bananas - If you either don’t like bananas or can’t eat bananas, don’t worry. They are mostly there for the creamy texture. You can leave them out and add in more peaches, as they are pretty creamy. Or you can add dairy-free yogurt, silken tofu, or some coconut milk. I would start with about a ¼ cup of whichever substitution you choose and add more if needed.
- Soy Milk - You can use any nondairy milk that you like. Or even water if you need to!
Storage
Smoothies are best made when you are ready to drink them. If you are trying to meal prep, you can place the fruit together in a bag to freeze (except for the dates) and just empty it into the blender with milk and dates (if using) when you are ready to drink it.
FAQ
I like to use leftover smoothies in popsicle molds to use as an after school snack. Or freeze it in ice cube trays to add to other smoothies later. I also like to freeze it in ninja creami containers for more of an ice cream-type treat.
Absolutely! Adding greens to your fruit smoothies is a great way to up the nutrition. If you add greens it will change the color but it shouldn’t alter the taste too much. I like to add either spinach or frozen zucchini. They both pack in extra nutrients without affecting the flavor of the smoothie. Keep in mind that you’ll need extra liquid if you add in more solids.
Yes! A thick smoothie is perfect for a quick breakfast. If you want it to keep you fuller longer, you can either add protein powder or use a higher protein milk like soy milk, which also has some added fats. You could also try adding oats.
While this recipe is naturally dairy-free, if you don’t want to use plant-based milk you can use water. It will still taste delicious! You could also try orange juice or coconut water, but keep in mind that they may change the flavor.
