Ingredients
  

Classic Peach Protein Smoothie
  • 1 cup frozen peaches use fresh peaches when in season, or drained canned peaches for a budget option
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or use blended cottage cheese for a no-powder creamy option
  • 1/2 cup milk or soy milk for a dairy-free liquid option
  • 2 tbsp old-fashioned oats optional, for a thicker breakfast-style smoothie
  • 1 tsp chia seeds optional, for thickness; use a small amount because chia can thicken quickly
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract for a peaches-and-cream flavor
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon optional, for a peach cobbler-style flavor
  • 1/2 cup ice optional, for a colder smoothie
Optional Protein and Flavor Variations
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder optional; add after the liquid so it blends smoothly
  • 1/2 medium banana optional, for a sweeter and thicker smoothie
  • 1/2 cup mango, berries, or spinach optional add-in for flavor variety
  • 1 tbsp peanut butter optional, for a richer snack-style smoothie

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Personal blender
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Smoothie jar
  • Freezer-safe bags or containers
  • Silicone ice cube tray

Method
 

  1. Add the milk or soy milk to the blender first so the blades can move smoothly.
  2. Add the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, or other protein base. If using protein powder, add it after the liquid and yogurt to help reduce clumping.
  3. Add the frozen peaches, oats, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, and ice if using.
  4. Blend until smooth and creamy. If using cottage cheese, blend a little longer so the texture becomes fully smooth.
  5. If the smoothie is too thick, add a small splash of milk or soy milk and blend again. If it is too thin, add more frozen peaches, ice, oats, or chia seeds.
  6. Taste and adjust with banana, mango, vanilla, or cinnamon if you want a sweeter or more dessert-style smoothie.
  7. Pour into a glass or smoothie jar and serve right away for the best texture.

Notes

Frozen peaches make the smoothie colder and thicker, while fresh peaches create a lighter texture. Drained canned peaches can work as a budget option.
Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, protein powder, soy milk, or silken tofu can all be used as protein boosters. The final protein amount depends on the exact brands and portions used.
For smoothie freezer packs, add frozen peaches, banana slices, berries, mango, spinach, oats, or chia seeds to freezer-safe bags or containers. Add the liquid, yogurt, cottage cheese, soy milk, or protein powder fresh when blending.
Smoothies may separate or thicken in the fridge, especially when made with oats, chia seeds, or protein powder. Shake well or reblend with a splash of liquid before drinking.
Nutrition values are set to 0 because exact nutrition depends on the milk, yogurt, protein powder, fruit, add-ins, brands, and serving size used.
