Ingredients
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a blender.
- Cover and blend about 30 seconds or until smooth.
- Serve immediately over ice cubes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use chilled peaches or add a scoop of yogurt. If you don't have peach nectar, you can substitute it with orange juice or fresh peach puree. Using frozen bananas not only enhances the shake's texture but also keeps it cold without needing ice, which can dilute the flavor. This recipe is also a great base for adding other fruits for variety.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Banana Peach Shake chilled, over ice cubes for a refreshing treat. It pairs beautifully with Hello Dolly Cookies for a delightful snack combo. Consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence. This shake is perfect for breakfast or as a midday energy booster.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The shake may separate, so give it a good stir before drinking. If you want to keep it longer, freeze the shake in ice cube trays and blend again when ready to enjoy. This method preserves the flavor and texture well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh bananas instead of frozen?
Yes, you can use fresh bananas, but the shake will be less cold and creamy. To achieve a similar texture, consider adding ice cubes or refrigerating the shake for a bit before serving.
Is there a dairy-free option for this shake?
Absolutely! To make a dairy-free version, substitute low-fat milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or any other plant-based milk. This will give the shake a different flavor profile but will still be delicious.
Can I add protein powder to this shake?
Yes, adding protein powder is a great way to boost the nutritional content of your shake. Just mix in a scoop with the other ingredients before blending, and adjust the liquid based on your desired consistency.
