A quick and easy smoothie blending ripe peaches, cream, and vanilla protein powder for a nourishing and creamy boost perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3 to 4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peaches: wash, pit, and slice if fresh; frozen peaches can be used directly.
  2. Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder to the blender.
  3. Pour in 1/4 cup heavy cream and 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt and 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if desired.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon.
  6. Add 3 to 4 ice cubes.
  7. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed until smooth.
  8. Adjust consistency by adding more almond milk if too thick or more ice/yogurt if too thin.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe peaches for natural sweetness; frozen peaches work well out of season. For a vegan version, substitute dairy cream and yogurt with coconut cream and plant-based yogurt, and use a plant-based protein powder. Let the smoothie sit for a minute after blending for better flavor melding. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 24 hours and shake before drinking.
