Description
Peach Protein Shake is a refreshing, creamy, and nutrient-packed beverage made with ripe peaches, Greek yogurt, and protein powder. It’s perfect for post-workout recovery, a quick breakfast, or a healthy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe peach (or 1 cup frozen peaches)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (or your preferred flavor)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for a thicker texture)
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: If using fresh peaches, wash, peel, and pit the peach, then cut it into chunks. If you’re using frozen peaches, there’s no need to thaw them.
- Blend the shake: In a blender, add the peach chunks, protein powder, Greek yogurt, almond milk, honey (if using), vanilla extract (if using), and ice cubes (if desired). Blend on high until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if necessary.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the shake into a glass or shaker bottle and enjoy immediately. If you want to make it more filling, add extra ice for a thicker consistency or a handful of spinach for an added nutritional boost.
Notes
- This shake is best enjoyed immediately after blending for maximum freshness.
- If using canned peaches, make sure to drain and rinse them to avoid excess syrup and sugar.
- For a thicker texture, add more frozen peaches, a handful of ice, or a tablespoon of chia seeds or oats.
