Peach Smoothie

Peach Smoothie

This peach smoothie is bright and satisfying for breakfast or a mid-afternoon snack. Peaches represent sunshine to me. It's always in the dead of winter that we long for summer. Peaches contain phosphorous, along with calcium and vitamin C, these nutrients play an important role in strengthening bones and gums. Peaches are also loaded with antioxidants vitamin C and zinc that support the immune system. Both zinc and vitamin C help you fight infection and support healing. Peaches are also great for diabetics who have to watch insulin response to fruit that can spike blood sugar levels.

How to make Peach Smoothie

  • Mix together yogurt, non-fat milk, oats, protein powder, peaches, honey, cinnamon, and ginger. Add a large cup of ice and blend in a high-speed blender.

This Peach Smoothie may remind you of Peach Pie. Want to play with it a bit?

  • Try using freshly grated ginger for an extra kick. It will add a new layer of freshness
  • Add a handful of kale and a handful of spinach. You will not even notice it's there and it will provide you some extra nutrition
  • Use plant-based milk rather than dairy and replace yogurt with coconut yogurt if you are dairy-free
