Peach Smoothie: Creamy, Healthy & Delicious

Peaches are probably one of most loved but least consumed fruits because their period of ripeness is limited, and typically most of us only consume them in the summer. Well, if you buy frozen peaches, you're still getting them at the peak nutrition but also can use them anytime of year.

Even better, you can add frozen peaches into one of the tastiest smoothies on the planet: the Peach Smoothie, which suddenly becomes creamy and divine with frozen peaches, collagen protein, and a few other key ingredients.

This will become one of your go-to morning smoothies ... or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Peach Smoothie Benefits

Why drink this peach smoothie? It includes tons of healthy carbohydrates for energy alongside plenty of muscle supporting protein (19 grams) and healthy fats (9 grams). At 341 calories, it can work as a small breakfast or as a post-workout meal to refill those glycogen stores in your muscles.

Meanwhile, the ingredients are chockfull of healthy ingredients. The peach is one of the healthiest fruits. In addition to its many vitamins and minerals, low calorie content and, of course, delicious flavor, the peach also comes packed with great antioxidants, including all five classifications of carotenoids.

Bananas are packed with potassium and fiber, and high in vitamins B6 and C.

Raw honey is a superior natural sweetener, as it does not cause a sugar spike and elevated insulin release like white sugar. Plus it's relatively low in calories. Raw honey also contains 22 amino acids, 27 minerals and 5,000 enzymes!

The Multi Collagen Protein Vanilla features clinically studied ingredients that support the gut, joints and skin. It's also one of the most tasty collagen powders that blends perfectly with peaches.

Key Ingredients

Here are the ingredients recommended for this peach smoothie:

• Frozen peach slices: Why frozen? Peak freshness that also makes for a creamy texture.

• Frozen banana: Same deal here, as frozen banana can even used with frozen peaches to create a delicious natural "ice cream."

• Multi Collagen Protein Vanilla: Featuring four collagen sources and 10 types of collagen, you're getting the best collagen powder.

• Gluten-free oats: Adds healthy carbs and provides a peach cobbler like taste.

• Raw honey: Most nutrition-packed sweetener.

• Cinnamon and nutmeg: Two high antioxidant spices that add a sophisticated flavor.

• Almond milk: Go with unsweetened and shake well before pouring. It's one of the best plant-based milks in smoothies because it's low in calories and carbs yet adds some protein and fat.

How to Make a Peach Smoothie

Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth, stopping to stir mixture to make sure no peach chunks are left.

If not liquidy enough, add a little bit of cold water and re-blend. Pour into glass and enjoy!

Peach Smoothie Variations

Want a peach cobbler-like experience? Add less almond milk to make it thicker and pour it into a bowl. Top it some naturally sweetened granola and grab a spoon. (Also, try my collagen-based chia seed smoothie bowl for a nice switch-up.)

Desire more of a keto smoothie that's high in fat? Use coconut milk instead of almond milk. You can also add some almond butter.

Desire more protein? Add a second scoop of collagen, or go with one scoop of Multi Collagen Protein and one of a high-quality whey protein (we will have our own version this Fall).
