🍑 Ingredients
All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.
Some notes on a few of them:
- Peaches - I suggest to use frozen peaches as they will thicken the smoothie. If using fresh peaches, adding some ice will help achieve a creamy thick consistency.
- Cottage cheese - this adds a nice amount of protein, as well as giving a creamy taste and texture.
- Hemp seeds - be sure to use shelled / hulled hemp seeds as they are softer to blend up.
- Plant milk - you can use your preferred milk, but be sure to check that oat milk is gluten free if you have that dietary requirement.
📖 Swaps and Variations
Add more cottage cheese. I've made this peach smoothie with ½ cup of cottage cheese rather than ¼ cup on a recipe test. My dad loved it, but it will have more of a 'cheesy' flavor.
Leave out the maple syrup. The peaches are sweet themselves, so you can leave out the maple syrup if you prefer.
🔪 How to Make a Peach Protein Smoothie without Yogurt

💭 Recipe Tips and Notes
- I suggest to use frozen peaches as they will give you a thick, creamy smoothie. If using fresh peaches, make sure they are ripe and juicy, and add some ice to thicken the shake.
- Blend well using a high powered blender to break up the seeds and peaches.
- If you want even more protein in your peach smoothie you can add another tablespoon or two of cottage cheese.
