This thick and creamy peach protein smoothie tastes like summer in a glass, and will keep you full until lunch.
One reason I love starting my day with a protein smoothie is that the flavors constantly vary based on what is in season. When it comes to avoiding boredom with healthy eating, variety is key! Fresh or frozen fruit work great in smoothies as well, so you can make sure not to waste anything in your produce drawer. I love this sweet and creamy Peach Protein Smoothie, and that it keeps me full until lunch!

Ingredients
- Peaches: Juicy and sweet, and full of vitamin C, you can use frozen or fresh peaches.
- Banana: Naturally sweet, full of vitamins, and adds to the creamy texture.
- Protein powder: Use your favorite protein powder, I usually use vanilla flavored, but you can use flavorless as well.
- Flax seed meal: Tasteless, and it doesn’t doo much to the texture either, but it adds important omega-3 fatty acids.
- Vanilla: Vanilla extract is a great flavor enhancer.
- Ginger: You can use ground or fresh ginger in this smoothie, but if you’re going to use fresh make sure you use more.
- Yogurt: Plain yogurt makes this smoothie creamy without adding processed sugars, using Greek yogurt would increase the protein!
Change it up
- Add more fruit. Peaches taste great with many fruits, but I personally love to add a mix of berries like raspberries and blueberries.
- Make it dairy free. You can make this smoothie vegan by replacing the yogurt with a non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk, and use a plant based protein powder.
- Switch out your add-in. Instead of flax seed meal, you can add chia seeds, hemp seeds, or oats for a nearly tasteless nutrition booster.
