Holding a peach protein smoothie.

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!

Why You’ll Love this Peach Protein Smoothie

  • As it’s a great source of protein and fiber, you won’t be feeling hungry an hour later, and can help with weight loss goals.
  • Easily customizable, you can change it up to what you have in your fridge or to your taste preferences.
  • It’s creamy and sweet, so the whole family will enjoy it!

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.

How to Make a Peach Protein Smoothie

Step 1. Add all of your ingredients to your blender. Using a frozen banana require less ice!

Step 2. Then add ice and blend until smooth, adding more ice or water until you reach your desired consistency.

    Wow. This is summer in a glass. I will have to try it for breakfast tomorrow – I have some frozen peaches. Right now (it changes frequently) my favorite smoothie is a cup of unsweetened almond milk, a small container of vanilla Greek yogurt, a scoop of banana crème protein powder, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a frozen banana and a graham cracker square. Tastes just like a banana cream pie. Yum.

        If we don’t use protein powder, should we substitute it with something else to keep the thickness of the smoothie the same?

          You can replace with a different add-in, or just increase the amount of peaches and ice.
