Smoothie Variations And Recipe Notes:
You can make the recipe and enjoy it as it is, or, you could make some changes to it.
Experiment on your own, or try some of my suggestions:
- Use Frozen Peaches: I prefer to use fresh peaches when they are in season, just because they are so delicious and juicy. If you are making this smoothie during colder months, definitely use frozen!
- No Banana: Swap the banana for either extra mango, or peaches, or use a different fruit completely.
- No Nuts: Swap the peanut butter for seeds, such as chia or flax. As for the almond milk, use oat or soy instead.
- Don’t Like Protein Powders? If you are not dairy-free, use 1/2 cup of cottage cheese or yogurt instead of protein powder.

As you can see in the images, the smoothie is quite thick, it also contains multiple types of frozen fruits.
For that reason, I highly recommend that you use a high-speed blender.
Storing The Smoothie
Short-Term Storage (Same Day):
- Refrigeration: If you plan to drink your smoothie later in the day, you can store it in an airtight container or a mason jar in the refrigerator. Make sure the container is sealed tightly to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.
- Tip: Shake or stir well before drinking.
Long-Term Storage (More Than One Day):
2. Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze your smoothie. This is a great option if you want to prepare multiple servings in advance.
- Method:
- Pour the smoothie into ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers.
- Once frozen, transfer the smoothie cubes into a freezer-safe ziplock bag or container.
- Duration: Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Tip: When you’re ready to enjoy the smoothie, blend the frozen cubes with a little additional liquid (water, almond milk, etc.) to restore the original consistency.
Additional Tips:
- Portion Control: Store your smoothie in single-serving containers to make it easy to grab and go.
- Labeling: Label your containers with the date so you can keep track of how long they’ve been stored.
