Instructions

Gather Ingredients: Have all items ready by your blender, ensuring frozen peaches are solid and liquids chilled for the coldest, thickest smoothie possible.
Blend the Base: Add frozen peaches, Greek yogurt, milk, and vanilla to a powerful blender. Blend until mostly smooth and thick, resembling soft-serve ice cream. Scrape sides with a sturdy spatula if needed. If the mixture looks too thick to blend, splash in 1-2 tablespoons more milk.
Add Sunrise Swirl: Carefully pour in the vibrant orange juice. Blend briefly, just until combined, aiming for that beautiful, swirled peachy-orange color. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired, blending again quickly to incorporate.

Notes

Enhance flavor with organic ingredients or spices like ginger/cinnamon. Adapt for diets: low-carb (unsweetened almond milk, no sweeteners), dairy-free (coconut/almond yogurt), high-protein (add protein powder), or lighter (use water instead of milk). For faster prep, use pre-sliced frozen peaches and measure liquids directly into the blender.
