Too many ripe peaches? No time to make jam? Too hot to bake? I feel you!! Check out my 3-ingredient solution. This Peaches and Cream Smoothie tastes like a peach milkshake, only there’s no ice cream or refined sugar. It’s naturally sweetened with peaches!
Peaches and Cream Smoothie
It’s early August and peaches are going off here in Northern California. In fact, they’ve ripened on the tree to the point that they literally fall into my hand when I gently clasp my fingers around them. If you have a peach tree, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
…or perhaps you visited farmers market and bought more peaches than you can handle.
When this moment happens every summer (it comes and goes so quickly), we’re sometimes faced with the option to make miracles happen. So, the other day, I came up with this super-fast smoothie to prevent our peaches from going to waste.
The result? Peaches and Cream Smoothie. It’s such a winner!
I’ve made it four times and even shared it with the neighbor kid, who went craaaaazy for it.
Since this peach smoothie is SO much like a milkshake, let’s chat about that for a minute.
How to make a peach smoothie that tastes like a milkshake (only without ice the cream)
Step 1. Slice peaches in half and remove pits.
Step 2. Throw them into a NutriBullet or any high-speed blender along with half and half, vanilla, and ice cubes.
Step 3. Blend…and grab a straw!

Do you own a NutriBullet or high-speed blender?
If you ever need reasons to own a NutriBullet or high-speed blender, I can tell you that I rely on mine for smoothies, milkshakes, salad dressings, dips and spreads, nut-chopping, and coffee-grinding.
It’s one of the most utilized, small appliances in my kitchen. If mine ever decides to break up with me, I’ll get another one in a heartbeat…no joke.

This looks fluffy and delicious. Do you think it will look the same if I use rice milk? Thank you!

Thanks, Claudia! Yes, I think rice milk would be delicious with this! It will be lighter and even healthier 🙂

About my new NutriBullet, I had one for about 5 years and it finally gave out. I loved it, I’d gotten it at Costco. So I marched on back to Costco for another, but now the NutriBullet is double the size and weight, the Rx, and doesn’t even blend as well. I always get chunks of something left in it. I liked the light weight version better than this one. Anyone else?
I also have lovely peaches I’m now eating, though I still have frozen peaches from last year.
Traci Antonovich says
Ellen, really great to know the info on the Rx. I’m still using my trusty, 5 year old Nutribullet 900 pro and highly recommend it! If you go to my “Shop Kitchen Tools” page, you’ll see an image and can click through to Amazon to read about it, get pricing, etc. Let me know if you have any Q’s. Also, I too have peaches in my freezer from last year LOL. And I just picked the first ripe peach from our tree yesterday! Woohoo! 🙂
Max Angel says
Although simple, this milkshake is the perfect blend of refreshment and fruitiness. In short, it is paradise itself.
The Kitchen Girl says
Hey thanks, Max! It’s especially paradise with those freshly picked peaches from the tree 🙂
