Peaches & Cream Smoothie (High-Protein)

Peaches and cream is such a classic combo; sweet, creamy, and totally nostalgic. This Peaches and Cream Smoothie is one of my go-to recipes in the summer (especially when I need something quick), but honestly, it’s so good I make it year-round.

One of the ingredients that makes this smoothie extra thick and satisfying is cottage cheese…hear me out! It blends up completely smooth, adds a subtle tang that works so well with the peaches, and gives the smoothie a creamy texture that reminds me of a dreamy milkshake. Plus, it’s a great source of protein and calcium.

It’s cold, creamy, naturally sweetened, and packed with protein, so it keeps you full for hours. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast, a filling snack, or something sweet after dinner, this smoothie always hits the spot…and a big bonus? My kids love it too!

Ingredients (with Helpful Notes)

Frozen Peaches : Use frozen for that thick, frosty texture. They make the smoothie creamy and sweet without needing much added sugar.
Milk : Any milk works, dairy, almond, oat, cashew, etc. Use what you love or have on hand. For extra creaminess, I love using unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
Vanilla Protein Powder : Adds a sweet vanilla flavor and boosts the protein. I like Clean Simple Eats or Just Ingredients . Use code TWOPEAS for a discount on both brands. You can leave the protein powder out, but it won’t have as much protein.
Cottage Cheese : This might sound unusual, but trust me! It makes the smoothie thick and creamy while adding extra protein and calcium. Daisy is my favorite brand.
Old Fashioned Oats : Oats give the smoothie more body and add fiber, keeping you full longer. If you need the smoothie to be gluten-free, use gluten-free oats.
Pure Maple Syrup : Just a touch for natural sweetness. You can adjust depending on how ripe your peaches are or skip it altogether.
Vanilla Extract : Add a splash for that that dessert-like, creamy vanilla flavor.
Cinnamon : A dash adds warmth and depth to the flavor. It’s subtle, but it makes a difference.
Ice : I add a scoop of ice because I like a thick smoothie!

Tips for Making the Perfect Peaches & Cream Smoothie

Use frozen fruit for the best texture. If you only have fresh peaches, slice and freeze them first, it’s worth it to get that super creamy texture!
Blend in stages if your blender isn’t super powerful. Start with the liquid and soft ingredients, then add frozen fruit and ice.
Adjust the sweetness to taste. Depending on your protein powder and how ripe your peaches are, you may not need the maple syrup at all.
Add-ins welcome! Want more greens? Toss in a handful of spinach. Want extra healthy fats? Add a spoonful of almond butter. Want more fiber? Add chia seeds.
