I call this my “pretty in pink” because it has the most beautiful color and incredible flavor from the addition of raspberries or strawberries. I love that they don’t overpower the peach flavor, but just add subtle hints of sweetness and berry flavor. This peach smoothie is ultra creamy and packed with protein thanks to greek yogurt (feel free to use dairy free!) and you seriously only need 5 total ingredients to make it. This one’s a must before summer ends!

5-ingredient peach smoothie recipe

This healthy peach smoothie with yogurt has simple ingredients but an incredible, creamy peach flavor! Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

Peaches: you’ll need frozen peach slices, of course, for that delicious peach flavor.

Berries: I like to add frozen raspberries or strawberries for additional fruit sweetness and a pretty pink color.

Yogurt: get that peaches and cream flavor and a boost of protein with vanilla greek yogurt.

Milk: to help the smoothie blend up you’ll add your favorite dairy free milk.

Vanilla extract: a little vanilla brings out all of the natural sweetness. Learn how to make your own at home with this tutorial!

This easy peach smoothie recipe is great for customizing with your fav smoothie ingredients, toppings, and more. Here’s what I can recommend:

Make it vegan/dairy free: simply use your favorite dairy free yogurt and dairy free milk to keep the peach smoothie both dairy free and vegan. I think a coconut-based yogurt would be delicious!

Choose your extra fruit: I love the flavor and color that raspberries and strawberries add to this peach smoothie, but it would also be delicious with blueberries or even banana.

Have fun with toppings: try adding my homemade granola on top, plus some extra fresh fruit slices for the ultimate treat!

Looking for more sweetness?

Because this peach smoothie is made without banana, the sweetness depends on the ripeness and/or seasonality of your frozen fruit. To make it sweeter you can add 1 pitted date or a little bit of honey/pure maple syrup and blend again until it’s sweet to your liking.

Try these easy nutritional boosters

Looking for another boost of nutrition in this creamy peach smoothie? Try adding any of the following, and remember to blend in a little more milk along with any of these additions.

Nut butter: for an additional boost of healthy fats feel free to blend in 1 tablespoon of your fav nut butter. I think almond butter would be perfect in this peach smoothie!

Flaxseed meal: this is one of my favorite ingredients to add to smoothies for a boost of fiber and minerals, and is especially great for nursing mamas as flaxseed can help increase milk supply. Here’s a brand I love.

Chia seeds: try adding in a tablespoon of chia seeds for a boost of healthy fats and fiber.

Hemp seeds: feel free to throw in some hemp seeds for another boost of healthy fats, omegas and minerals.

Avocado: add healthy fats and extra creaminess by adding ripe avocado. Usually, 1/4 or 1/2 of an avocado will be sufficient and also help to keep you satisfied thanks to those healthy fats.

Protein: Easily add more protein to this turmeric smoothie by adding 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder (vanilla would be delicious!) I recommend Vital Protein collagen peptides or Four Sigmatic Plant-Based Protein Powder.

Tips and Tricks 💫 

Use frozen fruit. This will help keep the smoothie cold and thick. Sometimes ice doesn’t blend as well, so it’s best to skip it unless absolutely necessary. If you only have fresh fruit, try adding 1 cup of frozen cauliflower.

Add liquid. Don’t be afraid to add more liquid if your smoothie is too thick or won’t fully blend. High powered blenders tend to blend frozen fruit much better, so if you have a regular or personal size blender, you may need to add more coconut milk.

Start low, go high. Start the blender on low speed, then gradually increase to high to help blend all ingredients. Finally, end with the blender on low speed.

INGREDIENTS:

For the smoothie:

1 heaping cup frozen peach slices

1 cup frozen raspberries or strawberries

½ cup vanilla greek yogurt (or sub dairy free yogurt of choice)

1 cup unsweetened dairy free milk of choice (i use almond milk but coconut milk would be YUM)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Granola and fresh raspberries/peach slices

INSTRUCTIONS:

Add all ingredients to a high powered blender: frozen peaches, frozen raspberries, yogurt, milk and vanilla extract. Feel free to add any optional add-ins to your smoothie if you’d like. Blend until smooth, adding more milk to thin, if necessary. Taste and add honey to sweeten as necessary then blend again; this is totally optional but some might prefer a sweeter smoothie. Pour into a glass and enjoy! Serves 1. Feel free to double the recipe to serve 2.

Recipe Notes

Feel free to add 1 tablespoon almond butter for a boost of healthy fats. I also love to add a tablespoon or two of hemp seeds but it’s up to you.

If the smoothie isn’t sweet enough, which typically depends on the ripeness/seasonality of your frozen fruit, you can add 1 pitted date or a little bit of honey/pure maple syrup and blend again until it’s sweet to your liking.

If you want a boost of greens, add in 1-2 cups of spinach; the color will change but the flavor will not.

This super drink Zobo, is very tasty, colourful and highly medicinal. This plant is believed to have originated from the West Africa before spreading to other parts of the the world and different people uses the roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) for different purposes.

Zobo is an annual or perennial herb that is botanically known as Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa). The drink is known as zobo or zoborodo drink by Nigerians and in some west African countries (Ghana) is it know as Sobolo Drink. Also other parts of the world have different names (like bissap) for this drink, kindly comment below and let us know what it is called in your part of the plant

Different countries call this plant by different names such as; rosela by Indonesians, sobolo by Ghananians, zoborodo by Nigerians, Telugu people call it Gongura, roselle is called belchanda in Nepal, 洛神花 (Luo Shen Hua) in Chinese, Chukor in Bengali, Pulicha Keerai in Tamil, krajiab priaw in Thailand, bissap in Senegalese, wonjo by Gambians, karkanji by Chads, foléré by Cameroonians, sorrel by the Caribbeans and quiabo-roxo by Brazilians.

The Hibiscus sabdariffa fruit takes approximately six months to mature and the fruits can be infused for medicinal purposes or prepared for drinks. Some studies reveal that the roselle fruit has a characteristics medicinal properties, which makes it viable for treating loss of appetite and fever. Due to its diuretic properties, rosells can also be used for treating kidney diseases. It’s anti-hypertensive properties make this plant very ideal for reducing high blood pressure. Roselle drink is an excellent source of iron, riboflavin, flavonoid, vitamin C, niacin, calcium, glycosides, carotene and water-soluble antioxidants.

The zobo drink is very natural and contains more nutrients than those made with artificial ingredients and preservatives hence nutritionists recommend people to stick to natural drinks of which zobo drink is part of. Nutritionists reveal that taking at least a glass of zobo drink after eating food is capable of reducing the absorption of dietary carbohydrates thereby maintaining a healthy body weight.

Before preparing the sorrel drink, I usually peel the pineapple and slice it into tiny bits. Although some people use the pineapple peels during preparation but I have doubts if the peels will be thoroughly clean enough for use. The zobo drink is one of the easiest drink to prepare as all you need is to wash the zobo leaves, add in a cooking pot, add the peeled pineapples and garlic and the drink is just as good as ready. So I bet you will enjoy this drink if you give it a try.

Ingredients:

1) Zobo leaves

2) Sugar(Optional)

3) Pineapples and cucumbers

4) Ginger

5) Any flavour of your choice

Method

1) Set your big pot on fire and pour enough quantity of water.

2) Wash your zobo leaves in a cold water to remove dirt (don’t leave it in the water for long, just put it in the water and quickly use your hand to shake it and remove it from the water).

3) Pour the zobo leaves in your pot. Add your sliced pineapple, ginger, sliced cucumbers and cover it till it has boiled very well and the water has changed to a red wine colour.

4) Remove the pot from the fire and separate the zobo liquid from the leaves. put the zobo liquid aside cover it and leave it to cool.

5) After it has cooled, add your sugar and flavour in the desired quantity but don’t let the sugar and flavour to be too much in the zobo.

6) Package it in your bottles and put in it the fridge.

Serve chilled 🍹

Note: You should wash and peel the back of the pineapple if you want but if you don’t want you can just wash the back very well, sliced it , and add it to the zobo like that ( it depends on how you want it).

Making of zobo for selling is very lucrative because people like it very well and some prefer It to other drinks. You may decide to start your own zobo business you can sell it together with either doughnuts, chin chin, mini cakes etc and make your money.

All you need is to learn how to do it very well and how to market it. If your zobo is sweet and tastes better than that of others it will stand out and before you know it people will begin to patronize you.

Making smoothies is always a good idea. And making a fruit smoothie with rainbow colors is fun and healthy! Smoothies are a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of fruits, vegetables and proteins. Perfect for breakfast or as a healthy snack in between.

You can vary endlessly with different fruits and vegetables. We make a blueberry smoothie, spinach smoothie, pineapple smoothie, mango smoothie and strawberry smoothie in one, so that we get the colors of the rainbow. We pour these ‘mini’ smoothies over 2 different glasses.

This rainbow smoothie is packed with fruit and a vegetable (spinach). And this smoothie not only looks fantastic, it is also tasty and the smoothie has great different flavors.

Rainbow smoothie ingredients

In this recipe we make 5 small smoothies, so we make the colors purple, green, yellow, orange and red. Blend all ingredients of 1 color in a blender. Then stack the fruit smoothies together in a glass, so you get a rainbow smoothie. Place the glasses in the freezer in between, so that the layers become nice and straight.

The base of every smoothie is frozen banana. Frozen banana makes a smoothie deliciously thick and creamy, almost milkshake-like!

Do you want to make a real milkshake? Then replace the frozen banana with vanilla ice cream!

BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE

For the purple layer of the smoothie, we make a blueberry smoothie. Put ½ frozen banana and 2 tablespoon of blueberries in the blender and blend! Pour the smoothie into 2 long drinking glasses and put in the freezer, while making the next color.

Is your smoothie too thick? Add a little water or pineapple juice (if you use canned pineapple).

SPINACH SMOOTHIE

What ingredients do you need for the green layer? ½ frozen banana, 2 hands of spinach, 50 grams of pineapple and 1 peeled apple. Blend the ingredients together and pour the smoothie onto the blueberry smoothie.

PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE

Blend 1/2 frozen banana, 75 grams of pineapple and 1 peach for a delicious pineapple smoothie. Then pour on the blueberry smoothie and spinach smoothie. Don’t forget to put the smoothie back in the freezer after each layer!

MANGO SMOOTHIE

Second to last smoothie: a mango smoothie! This is the orange layer of this rainbow smoothie. Blend ½ frozen banana, 5 frozen mango pieces, 1 peach and 1 raspberry together.

STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE

I love strawberries, raspberries and banana. Strawberry smoothies are my favorite! This is the red part of the rainbow fruit smoothie. Blend ½ frozen banana, 7 strawberries and 10 raspberries, then pour the smoothie into the glasses on top of the other layers.
