Pin ItPeaches & Cream Smoothie (High-Protein)
Peaches and cream is such a classic combo; sweet, creamy, and totally nostalgic. This Peaches and Cream Smoothie is one of my go-to recipes in the summer (especially when I need something quick), but honestly, it's so good I make it year-round.
One of the ingredients that makes this smoothie extra thick and satisfying is cottage cheese…hear me out! It blends up completely smooth, adds a subtle tang that works so well with the peaches, and gives the smoothie a creamy texture that reminds me of a dreamy milkshake. Plus, it's a great source of protein and calcium.
It's cold, creamy, naturally sweetened, and packed with protein, so it keeps you full for hours. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast, a filling snack, or something sweet after dinner, this smoothie always hits the spot…and a big bonus? My kids love it too!
Ingredients (with Helpful Notes)
- Frozen Peaches: Use frozen for that thick, frosty texture. They make the smoothie creamy and sweet without needing much added sugar.
- Milk: Any milk works, dairy, almond, oat, cashew, etc. Use what you love or have on hand. For extra creaminess, I love using unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
- Vanilla Protein Powder: Adds a sweet vanilla flavor and boosts the protein. I like Clean Simple Eats or Just Ingredients. Use code TWOPEAS for a discount on both brands. You can leave the protein powder out, but it won't have as much protein.
- Cottage Cheese: This might sound unusual, but trust me! It makes the smoothie thick and creamy while adding extra protein and calcium. Daisy is my favorite brand.
- Old Fashioned Oats: Oats give the smoothie more body and add fiber, keeping you full longer. If you need the smoothie to be gluten-free, use gluten-free oats.
- Pure Maple Syrup: Just a touch for natural sweetness. You can adjust depending on how ripe your peaches are or skip it altogether.
- Vanilla Extract: Add a splash for that that dessert-like, creamy vanilla flavor.
- Cinnamon: A dash adds warmth and depth to the flavor. It's subtle, but it makes a difference.
- Ice: I add a scoop of ice because I like a thick smoothie!
Tips for Making the Perfect Peaches & Cream Smoothie
- Use frozen fruit for the best texture. If you only have fresh peaches, slice and freeze them first, it's worth it to get that super creamy texture!
- Blend in stages if your blender isn't super powerful. Start with the liquid and soft ingredients, then add frozen fruit and ice.
- Adjust the sweetness to taste. Depending on your protein powder and how ripe your peaches are, you may not need the maple syrup at all.
- Add-ins welcome! Want more greens? Toss in a handful of spinach. Want extra healthy fats? Add a spoonful of almond butter. Want more fiber? Add chia seeds.
