Ingredients
- Frozen strawberries – frozen strawberries are perfect for smoothies. They help make them ice cold and are always the perfect ripeness (no worries about your strawberries going bad before you can use them). If you are using fresh strawberries, be sure to remove the leaves and stem and add a little ice to the smoothie to make it super cold.
- Frozen mango – frozen mango is easy to keep on hand and you don’t have to go through the steps on cutting the mango and removing the thick skin. Frozen mango cubes are super sweet and help create a thick and creamy consistency (similar to using frozen banana in recipes). If you only have fresh mango, cut it into cubes then add it to the smoothie along with about 1/4 cup of ice.
- Fresh or frozen peaches – I like to keep a bag of frozen peaches on hand for smoothies since they are already peeled and the pits have been removed. However, smoothies are the perfect way to use up peaches that have some bruises or imperfections. Don’t waste your peaches this summer, instead use them in smoothies or freeze them for later. If you are using fresh peaches, it’s up to you if you want to remove the skin (I prefer to remove it but you don’t have to).
- Yogurt – use any kind of yogurt you prefer. Dairy free yogurt, regular yogurt or Greek yogurt will all work well in this recipe. Adding yogurt to smoothies helps to make them super rich and creamy.
- Milk – I usually use almond milk or cashew milk but you can use any milk you have on hand. Oat milk, coconut milk (in the carton, not the can), regular milk will all work great.
- Vanilla protein powder – vanilla protein powder helps to add just a little more sweetness to the smoothie and the vanilla helps to accent the peach, mango and strawberry flavors, making them seem even sweeter. I like to use vegan protein powder as it also thickens the consistency slightly. You can also use whey protein but I would us a little less milk to get the same consistency.
How to make a strawberry peach mango smoothie
Step 1: Measure out the ingredients into a high speed blender in the order listed.
Step 2: Blend on high until smooth.
Top tips
- If you are using fresh peaches, you can decide if you want to remove the skin on the peaches or not. I prefer to remove the skin, but it won’t change the flavor or texture of the smoothie much if you are using a high speed blender.
- The peach flavor can get lost behind the mango, so if you really love peaches and want to taste them more, increase the peaches from 1/2 cup to 1 cup.
- You can freeze peaches to use in future smoothies! If you have an abundance of fresh peaches, cut them into slices and freeze them to use in smoothies later in the month. Follow this guide on how to freeze fruit.
- This strawberry peach mango smoothie is thick. If you want a thinner smoothie, add a little more yogurt or more milk to help thin it out to your liking. I recommend adding just a tablespoon at a time, as it can get too thin quickly.
- If you are not using protein powder or decide to use a protein powder without sweetener, you may decide to add a little more sweetness to the smoothie by adding 1-2 pitted dates, or a tablespoon of honey, maple syrup or date syrup.
- Use frozen fruit for the best consistency and flavor. Having to add ice can start to water down the smoothie, making the flavors a little less intense.
Other additions
Make this strawberry mango peach smoothie even more filling and delicious by adding one or more of these additional ingredients.
- Veggies – Add a 1/2 cup of frozen cauliflower rice, frozen spinach, baby spinach, kale, beets, zucchini.
- Other fruits – Add another handful of your favorite fruit. Blueberries, blackberries, cherries, banana, or raspberries would all be delicious.
- Healthy fats – Add some avocado, nut butter, nuts, seeds, or coconut. These will help make the smoothie even more filling and give it a rich consistency.
- Chia seeds or ground flax – adding chia seeds or ground flax will help to thicken the smoothie and also make it more satisfying. Both chia seeds and ground flax are great sources of fiber and healthy fats.
- Maca – maca root powder is considered a superfood and has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor similar to butterscotch. Maca has many benefits, one of those being it’s a source of iodine and iron and is considered an adaptogenic food that can help with energy (WebMD).
- Coconut water – replace some of the milk with coconut water to increase the natural electrolytes in this smoothie.
Toppings to make a smoothie bowl
You can add toppings to this smoothie or serve it as a smoothie bowl instead so that you can eat it with a spoon in a bowl. If you find that smoothies aren’t super satisfying for you, try them as smoothie bowls instead!
Here are some great topping ideas:
- Hemp hearts – these will add a little nutty flavor and also provide some healthy fats and protein.
- Nut butter – drizzle your favorite nut butter like almond butter, cashew butter, sunbutter or tahini over the smoothie.
- Chopped nuts or seeds – chop up some cashews, macadamia nuts, almonds, pecan, pistachios, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds.
- Granola or cereal – this will add a nice crunch.
- Fresh fruit – slice up some fresh fruit for the topping. Sliced strawberries, peaches, mango or banana would be delicious on top.
- Coconut flakes or coconut butter – add a little tropical twist with some dried coconut or coconut butter.
Substitutions
- Frozen strawberries – use any frozen berry in place of the strawberries. You can use blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or even dark sweet cherries. If you want you can omit the berries and just use more mango and peaches.
- Frozen mango – if you don’t have mango, you can also use frozen banana. You can also omit the mango and use more strawberries and peaches if you don’t have mango or banana.
- Peaches – use fresh or frozen peaches. You can also use nectarines or plums in place of the peaches. Be sure to remove the pits.
- Yogurt – use any yogurt you have. If you don’t have yogurt, simply omit it from the recipe. You could replace it with about 1/4 cup of rolled oats to create the same creamy consistency.
- Milk – use any milk you enjoy. I prefer dairy free milks like almond milk or cashew milk. If you don’t have milk use water and add a tablespoon of your favorite nut butter (like almond butter or cashew butter) or seed butter, such as sunbutter or tahini.
- Vanilla protein powder – if you don’t have protein powder, add about 1/4 – 1/2 cup of oats and 1 tablespoon of honey, maple or pitted dates.
Common questions
Healthy strawberry mango peach smoothie benefits
This smoothie is packed with vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber.
The strawberries, mangos and peaches are all rich in Vitamin C, fiber, folate and antioxidants.
The yogurt and protein powder are both great sources of protein, helping to balance out the natural sugars from the fruit,
No added sugars from juices, sweetened milks or yogurts or any unnecessary ingredients.
Can you make this without yogurt?
Yes! If you don’t want to use yogurt, simply leave it out. There is not much to start with, just a little to add a creamy texture. You will love this Strawberry Peach Smoothie without Yogurt.
Can you make this peach smoothie with all frozen fruit?
Yes! I recommend using all frozen fruit when you have the opportunity. Frozen fruit makes your smoothie super cold without using any ice, which means that it’s got more flavor since the ice isn’t watering it down.
More reasons to use frozen fruits are that the frozen fruit doesn’t need to be washed or pitted, making it quick and easy to use. It’s also easy to freeze fruit yourself and store in the freezer so you don’t have to worry about spoiling.
Should you peel the skin of peaches for smoothies?
While you don’t have to peel the peach skin (especially if it’s very thin), it is recommended. The peach skin can change the consistency of the smoothie slightly, especially if you don’t have a high speed blender.
Remove the skin from peaches using a knife or using the boiling water method. I describe both when I walk you through the steps on how to freeze peaches for smoothies.
Can you use canned peaches in smoothies?
You can certainly use canned peaches in smoothies. I would recommend using peaches stored in juice (not syrup) and draining any of the liquid before adding the peaches to the blender. Canned peaches are great because they are already peeled and are packaged at peak ripeness.
Storing leftovers
If you have leftover peach mango strawberry smoothie you can store the leftovers in the fridge or in the freezer.
- Fridge – Store in a cup with a tight fitting lid for up to 24 hours. Stir well as the smoothie can separate after some time. I recommend adding a few cubes of ice and re-blending for the best texture and to make it super cold.
- Freezer – Pour leftovers into ice cube molds or into popsicles to enjoy later in the week. If using the ice cube molds, use those smoothie cubes to add flavor to other smoothies or blend them together with some milk to make another smoothie down the road.
