Ripe peaches (fresh or frozen)
Milk or milk alternative (such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk)
Honey
Ice (optional)
(Optional add‑ins: vanilla extract, yogurt, or a scoop of protein powder)

Directions

If using fresh peaches, wash, peel (if desired), remove the pits, and chop them into chunks.
Add the peach chunks into a blender.
Pour in the milk or milk alternative.
Drizzle honey over the fruit and milk.
Add ice if you want a thicker, colder shake.
Optional: add vanilla extract or yogurt to enhance creaminess, or protein powder for extra nutrition.
Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust sweetness (add more honey if needed) or thickness (add more milk or ice).
Pour into glasses immediately and serve cold.

Prep time: ~5 minutes

Variations

Vegan / Dairy‑free version: Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk instead of dairy milk. Use maple syrup instead of honey if you want it fully vegan.
Extra creamy: Add a spoonful of yogurt or a half banana to give more body.
Peach berry blend: Add a handful of strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries to complement the peach.
Spiced twist: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for warmth.
Protein boost: Stir in a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
Green version: Add a small handful of spinach or kale — the peach will mask the greens.

Storage/Reheating

This milkshake is best served fresh and chilled.
If you must store it, pour it into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
Stir or shake well before serving. It may separate or thin out slightly.
Do not reheat — this is a cold beverage.

FAQs

What type of peaches should I use — fresh or frozen?

You can use either. Fresh peaches give a vibrant flavor, while frozen peaches help make the shake cold and thick without adding as much ice.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can blend it and store it for a short while, but it’s best enjoyed right away for freshness and texture.

Can I omit the honey?

Yes — you can reduce or omit honey and rely on the natural sweetness of ripe peaches, or substitute another sweetener like maple syrup or agave.

How can I make it thicker?

Use less milk, more ice or frozen fruit, or add yogurt or banana to thicken the consistency.

How can I make this vegan?

Use a plant‑based milk (almond, oat, coconut, etc.) and replace honey with maple syrup or agave.

Is this recipe suitable for kids?

Yes — it’s a wholesome, naturally sweetened drink. Just be mindful of portion sizes and any added ingredients like protein powder.

Can I add other fruits?

Yes — berries (strawberries, blueberries), mango, or banana all pair well with peaches.

Can I use this recipe as a base for a smoothie bowl?

Yes — just reduce the liquid, increase the frozen fruit, and top with granola, nuts, seeds, or fresh fruit.

Will the color change if I refrigerate it?

Possibly — it may oxidize a little or become paler over time. Serve soon after blending for the best color and flavor.

What consistency should I aim for?

It should be thick and smooth — pourable but not runny. Adjust by adding more liquid (if too thick) or more ice/fruit (if too thin).
