Peach and banana form a fruity base for Greek yogurt, while sweet potato adds body. Oat milk helps everything blend and the yogurt gives a tangy finish. Using a prepared sweet-potato portion makes this a different breakfast blend from ordinary peach yogurt.

Measured ingredient amounts adjust with servings. “To taste” amounts and directions stay as written.
Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen peaches
- 0.5 banana, peeled
- 0.25 cup plain greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup plain cooked sweet potato, cooled and diced, then frozen
- 0.75 cup unsweetened oat milk
Directions
- Pour the measured liquid into the blender. Add the softer prepared ingredients first, keeping the frozen pieces separated so they can move toward the blades instead of forming a solid block above them.
- Add the remaining edible ingredients, including the measured fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices listed for this recipe. Blend until evenly combined. Use the machine instructions to choose a suitable speed, and stop before checking texture or scraping the jug.
- Taste a small spoonful after blending. If the mixture is too thick to pour, add cold water one tablespoon at a time and blend briefly again. Divide the base batch into 1 serving and enjoy promptly.

Tips and ingredient notes
Use plain cooked, cooled sweet potato before freezing the portion. Choose unflavored yogurt and oat milk. Added vanilla or sweeteners in packaged products can otherwise become more noticeable than the peach itself.
Check fresh peaches for stones before measuring the flesh. Frozen slices offer convenience, but should be separated before blending. Skin may remain visible in the finished drink; that is different from finding hard pieces of fruit that still need processing.
Plain yogurt keeps the fruit and spice balance easier to control. Greek-style products are usually thicker than ordinary natural yogurt, so the same spoon measure can produce a different pour. Blend first, then adjust with small measured additions of liquid if necessary.
Ingredient health benefits
