What to keep in mind.

- 2Chill the yogurt and milk beforehand so you can reduce the ice and keep the flavor concentrated.
- 3No need to peel the peaches — the skin adds extra fiber and a pretty blush color.
- 4For a creamier texture, swap the milk with an extra ½ cup of yogurt.
- 5Make-ahead: freeze sliced peaches in a single layer, then blend straight from frozen — skip the ice cubes.
- 6Store any leftover smoothie in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 4 hours; shake or re-blend before drinking.
