Print Recipe

A quick, nourishing, and delicious peach protein smoothie perfect for muscle recovery after workouts. Made with simple ingredients like peaches, protein powder, Greek yogurt, and almond milk.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe peach, peeled and sliced (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 scoop vanilla whey or plant-based protein powder
  • 1/2 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt (or dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat/soy milk)
  • 1/2 medium ripe banana
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 3–4 ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 1 large ripe peach. If using frozen peaches, no need to thaw. Slice 1/2 a ripe banana.
  2. Pour 1 cup unsweetened almond milk into the blender.
  3. Add 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and 1/2 cup Greek yogurt to the blender.
  4. Add the sliced peach, banana, 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Drizzle 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup if extra sweetness is desired.
  6. Add 3-4 ice cubes for chill and thickness.
  7. Secure the lid and blend on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute, scraping down the sides if needed.
  8. Check consistency; add more almond milk if too thick or more ice/peach slices if too thin and blend again briefly.
  9. Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

Use ripe peaches and bananas for best flavor. Add liquids first to help blending. Adjust ice and almond milk to achieve desired thickness. Can substitute Greek yogurt with coconut or almond yogurt for dairy-free version. Store blended mixture without ice in fridge up to 24 hours; add ice and re-blend before serving.
