It’s the end of summer and we all know what that means…we’ve arrived at the tail end of the best summer fruits and veggies. If that batch of peaches you brought home from the farmers’ market are ripening too fast for you to eat, here’s an idea: slice them up and freeze them to make some of these yummy, dairy-free Peach Ginger Protein Smoothies.
Instead of that typical yogurt tanginess that often accompanies smoothies, with this one you’ll get a fresh ginger zing along with that beautiful peach sweetness. I added a little bit of frozen banana in there to get some of that crazy creaminess you can see in the photos here. Even though there’s no dairy ’round these parts, these smoothies are creamy and dreamy like a milkshake. Enjoy!
Dairy-Free Peach Ginger Protein Smoothie
Servings: smoothies
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup light coconut milk, frozen into cubes
- 2 1/2 medium peaches, peeled, sliced, and frozen, (280 grams)
- 1/2 small banana, peeled, sliced, and frozen, (40 grams)
- 4 scoops Sports Research Collagen Peptides, (44 grams)
- 1″ knuckle of fresh ginger or 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- Optional: Enough ginger beer to blend
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until smooth. If your blender is having trouble, you can top it off with some ginger beer until it blends easily. If you don’t have ginger beer, I’d recommend leaving some of the coconut milk unfrozen in order to make blending easier. I don’t recommend just adding more almond milk as it will dull the flavors.
