Delicious and Nutritious Peach Cobbler Protein Shake Recipe
Written on
Peach Cobbler Shake Inspiration
This delightful shake draws inspiration from classic peach desserts such as crisps, cobblers, and crumbles. I have always enjoyed these fruity treats, but now I’m excited to share a recipe that combines wholesome ingredients to curb those sweet cravings while ensuring you stay full and energized.
Why You Should Try This Recipe
This shake is straightforward, quick to prepare, and packed with nutrients. Whether you refer to it as a peach smoothie or a protein-rich peach cobbler shake, simply blend all the ingredients together for a delicious, protein-packed drink that’s also rich in healthy fats. This recipe is particularly perfect during peach season when local markets overflow with juicy, sweet peaches.
Ingredients for the Peach Smoothie
Fruit: 1 cup Peaches & Bananas
Peaches take the spotlight in this shake. Frozen fruit yields the best results, but you can easily freeze your own fresh peaches when they are in season.
Liquid: 1 cup Soy Milk
You may opt for almond milk, cow's milk, or any preferred milk. For a lower-fat option, skim milk is a great choice.
Nut Butter: 1 tbsp Cashew Butter
My choice between cashew and almond butter often depends on the desired flavor profile. For this shake, I opted for cashew butter, which adds a nutty richness and creaminess often sought after in vegan desserts.
Sweetener: 2 Pitted Dates
The only added sugar in this smoothie comes from Medjool dates— a deliciously sweet fruit that I love incorporating into various smoothie recipes.
Optional Flavor Enhancements:
Consider adding vanilla extract, a dash of cinnamon, or extra sweeteners like more dates or brown sugar.
Protein Supplement: Vanilla Protein Powder
I prefer whey protein powder for its taste, but feel free to use a vegan alternative if desired.
