Strawberry Peach Smoothie (vegan)
This vegan strawberry peach smoothie tastes like summer, and frozen fruit means you can drink it in February and still get that.
A full breakfast before I’m out the door has never really happened for me. Toast or cereal was as far as I got, until smoothies became the thing I reach for instead.
I keep two or three of these in mason jars in the fridge, lids on, so one can come with me in my purse on the way to an appointment.
Four ingredients and about five minutes is all it takes, and it’s filling enough to carry you to lunch.
This recipe couldn’t be simpler, but I thought I’d share it with you, in case you’re looking for smoothie ideas to change things up.
Fresh or frozen fruit for a strawberry peach smoothie?
Both work, so use whatever you have. Frozen fruit gives you a colder, thicker smoothie without ice, which is why I keep bags of chopped peaches and strawberries in the freezer all year.
Fresh fruit is lovely in peach season, and you can leave the skin on for extra fibre. If you go fresh, a few minutes in the freezer first thickens things up.
Can you make this smoothie ahead?
Yes, and that’s the whole reason it earns a spot in my week. Blend a batch, pour it into lidded mason jars, and grabbing breakfast takes no thought at all.
It holds for two to three days. The fruit settles as it sits, so give the jar a shake before you drink it.
Is a strawberry peach smoothie good for you?
This one earns its place as a breakfast rather than a treat, because it isn’t only fruit. The dairy-free yogurt and plant milk add protein and fat, and that’s what turns a cup of blended fruit into something that keeps you full.
Peaches and strawberries bring fibre, vitamin C, and potassium, and leaving the peach skin on adds more fibre for no extra effort. The fibre also slows how quickly the fruit sugars reach you, which is why a whole-fruit smoothie sits differently than juice.
If you want it to hold up as a full meal, build in a protein source rather than keeping it all fruit. A spoonful of hemp seeds or a scoop of plant protein pushes it higher without crowding out the peach and strawberry flavour.
For exact calories and grams, run your specific yogurt and milk brands through the nutrition calculator in your recipe plugin, since those numbers shift a lot depending on what you pour in.

Strawberry peach smoothie FAQs
What can I swap in this smoothie?
No dairy-free yogurt on hand? Use a full cup of plant milk plus a frozen banana for the same thickness.
For more protein, a scoop of plant protein or a spoonful of hemp seeds blends in without changing the flavour.
Is a fruit smoothie actually filling?
This one is, because the dairy-free yogurt and plant milk bring protein and fat alongside the fruit’s fibre. That combination is also why it sits easily for me when a heavier breakfast doesn’t.
Do I need a high-powered blender?
No. Frozen fruit blends fine in a standard blender if you add the liquids first and start on a lower speed before pushing it faster.
If you only do three things
- Keep chopped peaches and strawberries in the freezer so this is always five minutes away.
- Blend a batch into lidded mason jars for grab-and-go breakfasts through the week.
- Add the liquids to the blender first so frozen fruit blends smooth without a fight.
Where to go next
Once you’ve got the strawberry peach version down, the same make-ahead trick works with other fruit. My blueberry smoothie with coconut milk yogurt is the next jar I’d fill.
