Why is a peach smoothie good for your health?
Peaches are rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and polyphenols, which support your immune system and promote glowing skin. When combined with banana and Greek yogurt, this smoothie provides a balanced blend of fiber, protein, and potassium. Greek yogurt adds gut-friendly probiotics and calcium for strong bones, while almond milk keeps it dairy-light and heart-healthy. With no refined sugars, it’s a wholesome choice for daily nourishment and hydration, especially in warm weather.
Storage
Peach smoothies are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store leftovers in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or stir before drinking. For meal prep, freeze blended smoothies in silicone ice cube trays and re-blend with a splash of milk when ready.
