I decided to do a play on a classic brunch cocktail and turn the signature flavors into a protein-rich and nutrient-dense smoothie with so many nourishing ingredients. plus, my peach Bellini protein smoothie tastes like a dream.

inspiration:

I knew I wanted to make a peach smoothie and brainstormed a slew of possibilities. Peaches & Cream along with peach pie were in the rankings, but this peach bellini protein smoothie stole the show with its addition of fresh mint, local honey and a *touch* of almond extract. almond extract simply makes the peach taste better and have improved flavor dimension. my mom and I fell in love after tasting my round 1 test of this peach bellini rendition and I would take this over a peach bellini cocktail for brunch any day.

smoothie ingredients:

hopefully, you’ll be able to find most of these ingredients lurking in your pantry and freezer. 

  • frozen peaches: the star of the show- you can also use fresh peaches.
  • fresh mint: the *supporting* star of the show- a must not skip ingredient.
  • fresh banana: adds thickness and creaminess. 
  • vanilla protein powder: my current favorite is found here
  • collagen: for healthy hair, skin and nails as well as joint health. 
  • local honey: adds a floral sweetness to enhance the peach flavor. 
  • coconut milk: the white portion of canned full-fat coconut milk adds the best flavor pairing to emulate peach bellini flavors. 
  • flavorings: pure almond extract and salt amplify the flavors in this smoothie. Don’t skip these- they truly enhance all the ingredients. 
  • garnishes: more frozen peach slices and a sprig of fresh mint leaves.

We had fresh peaches that we couldn’t finish, so I froze them with plans to make this smoothie. It was incredible! Toddler-approved, mom-approved. The almond extract was the *thing.* So good, Callie!
