Peach Melba Smoothie
Why this recipe works
- Ready in minutes: Everything is blended together, making this a fast breakfast, snack or chilled drink.
- Balanced fruit flavour: Sweet peaches soften the sharpness of raspberries, while honey lets you adjust the final sweetness.
- Creamy but fresh: Greek yoghurt gives the smoothie body and tang, while milk helps it blend to a smooth, drinkable consistency.

Ingredient notes
- Use ripe peaches: Ripe peaches give the smoothie its main sweetness and aroma; underripe fruit can make the flavour muted.
- Balance tart raspberries: If the raspberries taste especially sharp, add a little more honey or maple syrup and blend again.
- Choose your milk: Whole milk gives a rounder, creamier finish, while oat drink adds gentle sweetness and keeps the flavour soft.
Texture tips
- For a thicker smoothie: Chill the fruit, milk and yoghurt before blending so the drink stays cold and full-bodied without needing ice.
- For a silkier finish: Blend until the raspberries are fully broken down, stopping to scrape the blender if fruit sticks to the sides.
Make-ahead tips
- Best served straight away: The smoothie has the freshest flavour and thickest texture immediately after blending.
- Short-term chilling: If making it ahead, keep it sealed in the fridge and shake or re-blend before pouring.
Dietary alternatives
- Make it vegan: Use plant-based yoghurt, swap the milk for oat drink, and replace the honey with maple syrup.
- Make it dairy-free: Choose a dairy-free yoghurt and plant-based milk with a mild flavour so the peach and raspberry stay prominent.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Stone the peaches and add them to a blender with the raspberries, Greek yogurt, whole milk, honey and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides if needed.
- Taste and blend briefly again if you want it smoother. Pour into 2 glasses and serve straight away, well chilled.
Recipe notes
Tips
- For a thicker smoothie, chill the fruit and milk beforehand so it stays cold without diluting the flavour.
- If your raspberries are very tart, add another 1 tbsp honey and blend again.
Substitutions
- Replace Whole milk with Oat drink for a dairy reduced option with a gentle sweetness.
- Replace Honey with Maple syrup for a slightly richer caramel note.
Storage
- Refrigerate up to 1 days
- Best served immediately. If needed, chill for up to 24 hours in a sealed bottle and shake or re-blend before serving.
