Creamy Peaches & Cream Smoothie
This recipe serves one large glass or two smaller ones. It’s naturally sweet, velvety, and packed with vitamins.
Ingredients
2 cups Frozen Peach Slices: (Frozen gives it that thick, soft-serve texture seen in your photo).
1 cup Milk of choice: (Whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk all work great).
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt: Vanilla or plain for extra creaminess and protein.
1 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup: Optional, depending on how sweet your peaches are.
1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract: To give it that “peaches and cream” flavor profile.
Optional: A pinch of cinnamon or a scoop of protein powder.
Instructions
Layer the Blender: Pour your liquid (milk) in first, followed by the yogurt, vanilla, and sweetener. Adding liquids first helps the blender blades move freely.
Add the Fruit: Add the frozen peach slices on top.
Blend: Start on a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and those beautiful swirls form.
Check Consistency: If it’s too thick, add a splash more milk. If you want it thicker, add a few more frozen peaches or a couple of ice cubes.
Garnish: Pour into a tall glass and top with two fresh thin peach slices, just like in your picture!
Quick Tips for the Best Results
The Peach “Hack”: If you only have fresh peaches, peel and slice them, then freeze them on a tray for 2 hours before blending. This prevents the smoothie from becoming watery.
Nutrient Boost: Toss in a tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds; they won’t change the flavor but will add healthy fats and fiber
