Peeling the fruit is technically optional, however it will impact the texture of your smoothie. If you don't mind some flecks of peel, skip the boiling, and simply slice the peaches and freeze, skin-on.

Blend protein powder or greens first

Protein powder has a flour-like consistency and adds body to your smoothie. Spinach, cucumber, kale, celery, or other veggies will also improve the thickness of your drink without changing the flavor profile too much.

For the cleanest flavor also try and avoid adding tap water ice cubes if possible. Opt for cubes made from purified, filtered water instead.

But when I started experimenting, I discovered a handful of easy banana substitutes that lend a similar thick and creamy consistency to your smoothies. To make a smoothie without a banana, you can substitute oatmeal, avocado, chia seeds, frozen fruit, yoghurt or tofu.
