I was so excited to share my two-ingredient Easy Healthy Banana Smoothie a little while back. With just two ingredients (banana and milk), care to take a guess what makes it SO good? Well there’s the natural sweetness in both the milk and banana. The best part of the smoothie though is how creamy and frothy the banana makes it when it gets blended together!

Is there anything creamier than a banana in a smoothie?! Oh…actually…yes there is…avocado! Plain avocado and milk is another one of my favorite smoothies, but here I up the creaminess factor and add a little natural sweetness with banana. Kiwi livens the flavors up and adds a bit of zest and tanginess!

Cinnamon Apple Peach Smoothie

A glass of a gorgeous, silky peach and apple smoothie.

Cooler, less humid days call for a different kind of smoothie. This healthy Cinnamon Apple Peach Smoothie is a super silky, naturally sweet smoothie recipe made with seasonal fruits and a touch of cinnamon.

September feels like the best of two seasons here in the Eastern Ontario and Northern New York. There’s nothing like soaking up the remaining cherished sunny days and having to reach for a sweatshirt on cooler nights. We also get both late summer fruits and veggies and the roll out of fresh fall produce!

This smoothie is my drinkable toast to this time of the year. Sweet late summer peaches, ripe fall apples and warm cinnamon. The result is a gorgeous goldenrod-hued glass full of nothing but sweet, fresh fruit flavor.

I got the idea for this drink when my Turkish friend once added chopped apples to a pot of simmering water for our tea. I loved the taste and idea of adding apples and was reminded of it the other day when thinking about what to do with some freshly picked apples. I wasn’t quite ready for apple pie or cider, so I combined them with another late summer/early fall fruit for a smoothie.

I love the silky thickness that the peaches add! For a more tropical peach smoothie, I love this one!

HOW TO MAKE AN APPLE PEACH SMOOTHIE

This smoothie has a unique preparation method, but is super easy to make! The first thing you’ll do is peel the apple then core and slice the apple and peaches. Bring the fruit and water to a boil and along with a cinnamon stick then let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Apple and peach slices simmering in a pot with water and cinnamon sticks.

Once the fruit is cooked, remove the cinnamon stick and blend the water and the fruit together. Refrigerate it for 2 hours or overnight.

The active prep time is the same as most of my smoothies which is about 5 minutes, but it’s definitely a good idea to refrigerate the smoothie for at least 2 hours. The flavor becomes a little more intense and it tastes better cold.

Sugar is optional! I added about a tablespoon to this. Add more or less if you like.

I sometimes compare smoothies with fruit and milk or yogurt to a healthy milk shake. This Cinnamon Apple Peach Smoothie is dairy free, so I’d compare it more to a drinkable sorbet!

This silky, good-for-you smoothie is as delicious as it is gorgeous! It’s one of the healthiest, tastiest ways to enjoy the tastes of this beautiful time of the year!

BREAKFAST, A SNACK, OR A HEALTHY DESSERT

I first had this simple smoothie in Morocco where people sometimes have it as part of a breakfast or a snack. People make it at home and in cafes and juice bars. I used to love to order it with fresh miloui which are like crepes.

Now here miles away in Ottawa I make it as part of a healthy breakfast, snack, or even dessert. I love making it for others and seeing their reaction when I tell them that this treat is made from bananas and milk only and that there’s no sugar added!

This delicious Orange Mango Peach Smoothie has the perfect tartness to sweetness ratio. The three juiced oranges, peach, mango, lemon and lime supply both the freshness and sweetness that you look to a smoothie for!

VITAMIN C

Let’s talk about vitamin C! With 3 oranges, 1 lemon, and 1 lime, this Orange Mango Peach Smoothie has the recommended daily intake of of vitamin C covered and then some. As most people know, oranges contain more vitamin C than other citrus fruits. In addition to adding a pungent tartness to this smoothie, lemon and lime add even more vitamin C! Mango and peach also add boosts of vitamin C.

JUICE

You won’t believe all the juice you get from the three oranges, lemon, and lime. You can definitely use store-bought orange juice, but juicing these takes barely a minute. I personally love knowing that this entire smoothie comes from fruits alone.

TEXTURE

If you’ve ever had mango in a smoothie before, you’ll know about the texture it provides! The mango definitely deserve most of the credit for transforming the consistency of this drink from a juice to a smoothie. With the help of the peach, the mango makes this ultra smooth and creamy in a non-milkshake, healthy way!

BEAUTY

You can’t help but notice the gorgeous, bright orange color of this Orange Mango Peach Smoothie. The color will literally brighten up your day and signal to your body that you’re about to drink something healthy! While it becomes pretty uniform in color, you’ll still see little flecks of peach as you pour it!

MAKING THE SMOOTHIE

You might not buy juice again after seeing how easy this healthy smoothie is to make. You just chop, squeeze, blend, and drink! After adding the chopped mango and peach to the blender, you squeeze the oranges, lemon and lime and add them to the peach and mango. Hit blend and you’re done!

SERVING

This smoothie makes about 2 1/2 cups which is perfect for two people or one giant smoothie! Just double the recipe if you want to make it for more people. I like to refrigerate it for at least a half hour. If you want to drink it on the spot, you could always add an ice cube while blending. Mason jars are cute and fun to drink out of and their lids make it easy to store the smoothie for later. I love when I open the fridge and see that I have a smoothie in there!

Blueberry Banana Smoothie

This delicious Blueberry Banana Smoothie is so sweet and creamy that it could pass for a dessert and so nutritious that it easily qualifies as a healthy breakfast!

I like to share nutritional tips every now and then to my mom and brother. One of the tips that stuck with them is the phrase “eat the rainbow.” I’m sure the color will be the first thing they will notice about this beauty. You can see by the purplish-blue hue that this drink is full of antioxidants from the blueberries. The nutrition doesn’t stop there. It’s also rich in potassium (thank you, banana) and the yogurt and orange juice add protein and vitamin C.

I made a blueberry tart once with blueberries, a lemon cream and cinnamon. That blueberry-cinnamon combo left a tasty impression on me and I try to bring those flavors together when I can. Even though it’s only lightly spiced with a half a teaspoon of cinnamon, the warmth and flavor of the cinnamon is evident.
