Starting my mornings with a cold raspberry peach smoothie always makes the day better. This creamy mix blends tangy raspberries with sweet peaches, making every sip taste bright and awesome.
I first made this after scoring fresh fruit at the farmers market last summer. My whole crew went wild for it and now I throw it together anytime I want a fast breakfast or something sweet in the afternoon.
Luscious Ingredients
- Vanilla almond milk: helps everything come together and makes the mix smooth. Try to get the unsweetened kind so you can control how sweet your drink is.
- Vanilla Greek yogurt: adds a rich, creamy texture plus some protein. If you like it extra silky, grab the full-fat yogurt.
- Fresh peaches: bring sunny, gentle sweetness. Pick ones that are soft but not mushy for best results.
- Frozen raspberries: deliver bright, tart flavor and a great pop of color. Go for whole berries with no chunks of freezer burn.
Simple How-To Steps
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Pour straight into your glasses and dig in while it’s cold and creamy. This one’s tastiest right away.
- Blend Until Silky:
- Put the lid on and crank the blender up high for two minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides if the fruit gets stuck. Give it another quick blend for top-notch smoothness.
- Add the Fruit:
- Next, drop in the raspberries and the cut up peaches on top. Doing it in this order helps the blender mix everything evenly.
- Layer Into the Blender:
- First, pour in your almond milk and scoop in the yogurt. Liquids go first for easy, mess-free blending.
- Measure and Prep:
- Get the raspberries, sliced peaches, Greek yogurt, and almond milk measured and ready so you don’t have to stop and look for stuff later.

What I like most is grabbing juicy peaches from my favorite roadside stand. Every time I blend a batch, it reminds me of hanging out in Grandma’s kitchen with the family, slurping smoothies together on lazy days.
How to Store It
If any’s left, pour what you have into a jar with a good lid and keep it in the fridge for up to a day. Don’t worry if it separates, just shake or stir before drinking. Freeze it if you want, then let it thaw overnight in the fridge and run it through the blender for a quick refresh.
Easy Ingredient Swaps
Mix things up with mango instead of peaches for a beachy spin. Any yogurt, plant-based or dairy, is fine if you don’t have Greek yogurt. No almond milk? Oat milk or cow’s milk work great too.
Tasty Ways to Serve
Chill those glasses, fill ‘em up, and scatter some extra berries or peach slices on top for bonuses. I sometimes add granola for crunch, especially if I’m craving a breakfast bowl.

Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I swap in plain yogurt instead of Greek style?
Yep, that works. Greek yogurt just makes it thicker and richer, but plain yogurt blends in fine, too.
- → Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh ones?
Frozen peaches are totally great! They'll even give you a frostier, colder drink.
- → Is there a way to keep it dairy-free?
Of course! Grab any non-dairy yogurt along with almond milk, and you're set for a plant-based smoothie.
- → Can you toss in protein powder?
You can throw in any kind of protein powder you like for extra staying power. It blends right in.

Throw in a squirt of honey or a splash of maple syrup before you blend to bump up the sweetness however you like.
