Joanna Gaines Blended Peach Sunrise

This frosty sweet Joanna Gaines Blended Peach Sunrise is made with frozen peaches, orange juice, and strawberries and ready in 5 minutes. The magical moment happens when the bright orange peach mixture hits the red strawberry base to create a beautiful gradient. I love making this refreshing drink on warm weekend mornings.

What Makes This Version Different

I used to just throw all my smoothie ingredients into the blender at once and hope for the best. That usually resulted in a muddy brown color instead of a vibrant morning drink.

By blending the strawberry base separately from the peach mixture, you get that stunning layered sunrise effect. It takes one extra minute but makes the drink feel incredibly special.

Joanna Gaines Blended Peach Sunrise Ingredients

• 1 cup frozen strawberries
• 2 tablespoons honey (divided)
• 2 cups frozen sliced peaches
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt

How To Make Joanna Gaines Blended Peach Sunrise

1. Make the red layer: In a clean blender, pulse the frozen strawberries and 1 tablespoon of honey until pureed. Divide this mixture evenly into the bottom of two tall glasses.
2. Clean the blender: Quickly rinse the blender pitcher to prevent the red color from mixing into your peach layer.
3. Blend the peach layer: Add the frozen peaches, orange juice, vanilla yogurt, and remaining 1 tablespoon of honey to the blender. Process until completely smooth and thick.
4. Create the sunrise: Gently pour the peach mixture over the strawberry layer in each glass. Serve immediately with a straw.

Recipe Tips

• Use frozen fruit: Frozen fruit gives the drink a thick, frosty texture without watering it down with ice cubes.
• Pour gently: To keep the sunrise gradient sharp, pour the peach mixture slowly over the back of a spoon.
• Adjust the sweetness: Taste your orange juice first; if it is very sweet, you can skip the honey entirely.

What To Serve With Blended Peach Sunrise

This fruity drink pairs beautifully with savory breakfast items to balance the sweetness. Serve it alongside fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, or a warm spinach quiche.

How To Store

This drink is best enjoyed immediately while thick and frosty. If you must store it, keep it in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but note the colors will blend.

FAQs

Can I use fresh peaches instead of frozen?

You can, but you will need to add about a cup of ice to get that frosty smoothie texture. This might dilute the flavor slightly.

Is there a dairy-free option?

Yes, simply swap the vanilla yogurt for your favorite plant-based yogurt. You can also use half a frozen banana instead of yogurt for creaminess.

Can I make this ahead of time?

The layers will bleed together if made too far in advance. It is best to blend and assemble just before serving.
