Experience the refreshing taste of summer with a Peaches and Cream Smoothie. Combine your favorite milk, a whole peach (fresh or frozen), and a serving of vanilla protein powder for a delicious base. Enhance the creaminess with low-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt, and add a hint of sweetness with unsweetened coconut flakes or cashew butter. A touch of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a dash of pink salt elevate the flavor. For extra thickness, blend with ice, creating a smoothie that's both creamy and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
-
1 c milk of choice, used unsw cashew
-
1 whole peach, fresh or frozen (I keep skin on)
-
1 serving The Peachie Spoon Vanilla Protein Powder
-
1/2 c low-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt (vegan/df yogurt works)
-
2 T unsw coconut flakes or 1-2 T cashew or almond butter (skip this if using full-fat cottage cheese or yogurt)
-
1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
dash pink salt
-
1/2-1 yellow squash or cauli (optional extra fiber)
-
1 c ice if you want it thicker to eat with a spoon (I skipped this time)
STEPS
-
Blend well in blender. You may have to stop it and stir some if using ice and frozen squash too. 1-2 T Psyllium husk can always be added if you want higher fiber.

Thank you for another great smoothie recipe! I love freezing fresh peaches from the farmer’s market for this one. Question about adding frozen zucchini, yellow squash, or cauliflower to your smoothies… do you freeze them raw, or do you blanch them first?

So glad you love it! For the veggies, either way works. Some don’t digest raw veg well and blanch or steam and then freeze. I usually freeze mine raw.
We’re coming into peach season – hooray! I added unsweetened coconut this time, but will try a handful of cashews next.

Summer in a sip, chik fil a peach shake without the crash and bloat. The quantity is huge. Just need a vitamix to make this even dreamier!! Delicious.
