Only 4 ingredients are needed to make this yummy, thick, ice cream smoothie. I made these for us last night, after the children had finished another long, hot day, at school, sitting exams. They absolutely loved them, as did I – obviously I have to check what I make just to ensure it tastes good/won’t poison them/cos I wanted to!!!!!

This Raspberry Banana Ice Cream Smoothie may just be my favourite flavour yet!

500ml/1 pint Vanilla Ice Cream – I use Mackies Organic Vanilla Ice Cream

Pour your Raspberry Banana Ice Cream Smoothies into tall glasses, add a straw and slurp!

These really are delicious, using frozen raspberries is much cheaper, however if you have an abundance of fresh berries, by all means use them.

While they may not be super ‘healthy’ matcha tea green smoothies, they are packed with fruit. Since eating and drinking is all about balance I have no problem making these as an occasional treat. Especially when the weather is as hot as it is today!

Since I am already thinking of other flavour combinations, I’d love to hear your ideas?

Hi and thanks for dropping by. Are you having a good Monday or is it a bit of a drrrraaaagggg? Mondays can be a real dichotomy. If you’re on holiday, honeymoon or just cos the sun’s shining, then Mondays can be great!! If it’s another week at work or school, with deadlines looming, meetings pressing and the sun nowhere to be seen, it can be the hardest thing ever having to haul yourself outta bed and start another working week. This super easy Peach and Banana Smoothie not only looks like sunshine in a glass, it tastes amazing, is made in moments and it’s good for you!! Just the pick me up needed on a Monday, or any other day of the week.

Peach and Banana Smoothies - ideal to have with Breakfast! — Peach and Banana Smoothies – ideal to have with Breakfast!

Although I’ve pitched these as ideal for breakfast, I actually made this mid afternoon!!! We’d had a late breakfast, skipped lunch and I didn’t want us (me included) snacking on sugary treats whilst waiting for dinner. So far, so good! Dinner’s still an hour away and no ones hungry.

To make these Peach and Banana Smoothies all you need is:

Recipe : Makes 4 servings.

3 Bananas

2 x 400g Tubs/Cans Peach Slices in Fruit Juice

Method :

Tip the peaches and juice into a blender, or a food processor.

Next peel the bananas, break them into chunks and add them to the peaches.

Your Peach and Banana Smoothie is a few pulses away.

Blitz the peaches and bananas until you have a lump free Smoothie.

Get ready to pour.... — Get ready to pour….

And then pour your smoothie into a tall glass…

It's like pouring liquid sunshine!! — It’s like pouring liquid sunshine!!

Next enjoy!

During the summer you could add frozen bananas, or substitute tinned peaches for fresh and add some ice to make this a cool drink. But for mid February this Smoothie was fab as is. Enjoy!!!!
