Strawberry Peach Smoothie Without Yogurt
If you need a quick, high protein breakfast or post-workout snack, this strawberry peach smoothie is for you. It’s thick, creamy, naturally sweet, and made with simple ingredients you likely have on hand. I’ve been making smoothies like this for years, as a personal trainer and nutrition coach, they were my go-to way to help clients start their day with protein, fiber, and flavor in under 5 minutes.

Ingredients
- Frozen Peaches and frozen strawberries – I recommend using frozen fruit to make the smoothie thick and creamy without any ice. Plus frozen peaches are already peeled and ready to use.
- Vanilla protein powder – Adds staying power and turns this smoothie into a high protein, balanced meal or post-workout snack. Vegan protein powder also helps naturally thicken the smoothie. If you’re using whey or collagen, the texture may be thinner, reduce the milk or add 1/4 cup oats to keep it creamy. Use whatever protein you have on hand!
- Chia seeds – These tiny seeds are a powerhouse of fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based protein. They help keep you full longer and naturally thicken the smoothie, giving it a creamy texture without any gums or thickeners.
- Raw cashews – A simple way to add creaminess and healthy fats without using yogurt or dairy.
- Honey – Just a touch adds natural sweetness, especially helpful if your fruit isn’t super ripe or you’re using unsweetened protein powder. You can also swap it for maple syrup or skip it altogether.

Notes
- If you don’t have a super strong blender, I recommend buying chia protein, which is just finely ground chia seeds that easily mix into your smoothie.
- I recommend using all frozen fruit for a creamier consistency and texture. You can use a variety of fresh, canned, and frozen fruit. If you want to use fresh fruit, be sure to add about 1/2 cup of ice to get the same texture.
- When using whey-based protein or collagen peptides, I recommend adding 1/4 cup of oats to help thicken the smoothie or use less liquid (milk/water). Learn more about my ways to increase protein to smoothies and the best protein powders for smoothies.
- Leftover smoothie? Pour into popsicle molds, freeze and enjoy later. Your kiddos will love this.

Optional Smoothie Add-ins
- Hemp hearts – A simple way to add more protein, fiber, and healthy fats without changing the flavor. Just a tablespoon or two makes your smoothie even more satisfying.
- Frozen cauliflower rice – A sneaky veggie addition that adds creaminess and fiber without affecting taste. It’s perfect for bulking up your smoothie while keeping things light and nutrient-dense.
